What is the order of virus scanning when multilayer antivirus scanning is configured?

The correct answer is D. The McAfee engine scans for viruses first and the Sophos engine scans for viruses second. When multilayer antivirus scanning is enabled on the Cisco ESA with both engines active, McAfee scans first, followed by Sophos (D). This is the fixed, defined scanning order in the ESA architecture - McAfee is always the first-pass engine and Sophos is the second. This layered…

Explanation

When multilayer antivirus scanning is enabled on the Cisco ESA with both engines active, McAfee scans first, followed by Sophos (D). This is the fixed, defined scanning order in the ESA architecture - McAfee is always the first-pass engine and Sophos is the second. This layered approach increases detection coverage since different engines use different virus definition databases and heuristic methods. There is no 'default engine' in the multilayer context; both McAfee and Sophos are the two available engines.
