Why each option
The malware detection result shows the Cisco website was scanned by 68 engines or checks and received a benign verdict on every single one.
When a multi-engine threat scanning tool runs checks against a URL or domain, each engine independently returns a malicious or benign verdict. A result displaying 68 checks with no detections means all 68 scanning engines returned a clean, benign result. This is the expected outcome for a legitimate website like Cisco's, confirming zero threats were identified across all available intelligence sources used in the scan.
There is no indication the scan was incomplete or failed - the exhibit shows a full set of 68 checks completed, all returning benign verdicts.
The number 68 represents the total count of checks performed, not the number of open threats - the scan result is entirely clean.
The website was marked benign on all 68 checks, not zero - a result of 0 benign checks would mean every engine flagged it as malicious.
