• CFMC URL lookup
• DStealthwatch URL lookup

• A
  92% (34)
• C

• D

Explanation

Talos Intelligence is Cisco's threat intelligence platform that specifically provides URL reputation and disposition lookups - telling you whether a URL is malicious, suspicious, or clean based on real-time threat data. When a browser blocks a website, Talos is the correct tool to investigate why by checking that URL's global reputation.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (AMP) - Cisco Advanced Malware Protection focuses on file/malware analysis, not URL reputation lookups.
• C (FMC) - Firepower Management Center is a firewall management console used to configure and monitor network policies, not a URL investigation tool.
• D (Stealthwatch) - Stealthwatch (now Cisco Secure Network Analytics) analyzes network flow data for behavioral anomalies, not URL disposition.

Memory tip: Think "Talos = Trust check for URLs" - Talos is Cisco's public-facing threat intelligence hub (talosintelligence.com), and URL lookup is one of its signature free features. If a question involves checking whether a URL is good or bad, Talos is almost always the answer.
