Explanation

Cisco Cognitive Threat Analytics (CTA) uses machine learning and behavioral analytics to detect threats that may bypass traditional security controls. When integrated with WSA, it analyzes web traffic logs and telemetry to identify compromised endpoints, malware beaconing, and data exfiltration - effectively adding an additional layer of malware and threat protection beyond signature-based detection. While it does enhance visibility, its primary security benefit is the added malware protection through behavioral analysis rather than simply enriching reports or using AI to block viruses in the traditional sense.
