Why each option
Security Intelligence Events in Cisco FMC provide visibility into connections attempted to or from known-malicious IP addresses, URLs, and domains using threat intelligence feeds.
Security Intelligence in FMC uses threat intelligence feeds (such as Cisco Talos) to identify and log traffic to known-bad IP addresses, URLs, and domains. When a host attempts a connection to a blacklisted domain, the Security Intelligence Event is generated, giving administrators direct visibility into that activity. This is the core purpose of the Security Intelligence feature - correlating network traffic against threat reputation data.
Host-to-server traffic monitoring within the network is a function of network traffic analysis or connection events, not Security Intelligence Events specifically.
Viewing malicious files downloaded by a host is the function of the Malware/AMP (Advanced Malware Protection) events in FMC, not Security Intelligence Events.
Host-to-host internal traffic verification is handled by connection events or network discovery features, not Security Intelligence Events, which focus on external threat reputation.
