A security engineer is deploying Cisco Secure Endpoint to detect a zero day malware attack with an SHA-256 hash of 47ea931f3e9dc23ec0b0885a80663e30ea013d493f8e88224b570a0464084628. What must be config
The correct answer is D. custom detection list. To enable Cisco Secure Endpoint to take action against a zero-day malware based on its SHA-256 hash, a custom detection list must be configured.
Question
A security engineer is deploying Cisco Secure Endpoint to detect a zero day malware attack with an SHA-256 hash of 47ea931f3e9dc23ec0b0885a80663e30ea013d493f8e88224b570a0464084628. What must be configured in Cisco Secure Endpoint to enable the application to take action based on this hash?
Options
- Aaccess control rule

Why each option
To enable Cisco Secure Endpoint to take action against a zero-day malware based on its SHA-256 hash, a custom detection list must be configured.
Access control rules are typically used on network firewalls to permit or deny traffic based on network parameters, not to block files by hash on endpoints.
Correlation policies are used to link multiple events or indicators to identify complex threats, not for direct action on a single known malicious hash.
Transform sets are cryptographic parameters used in IPSec VPNs to define encryption and authentication protocols, unrelated to malware detection by hash.
A custom detection list (often called a custom blacklist or custom indications of compromise) in Cisco Secure Endpoint allows administrators to upload specific SHA-256 hashes of known malicious files. Once configured, Secure Endpoint uses these hashes to immediately detect, block, or quarantine any matching files found on endpoints.
