Why each option
This question asks about the primary mechanism by which Cisco's Web Security Appliance (WSA) protects an organization.
While file reputation is a feature, "during an attack" is too narrow; WSA protects continuously, and file reputation is one aspect, not the overall mechanism.
Daily scanning is insufficient for real-time web threat protection; WSA performs continuous, real-time analysis of web traffic.
"Parallel AV scanning" describes a method of scanning, but it's not the comprehensive description of how WSA protects the organization across the network, which involves multiple layers of analysis.
Cisco's Web Security Appliance (WSA) provides protection through automated monitoring and analysis of web traffic across the network. It uses various techniques like reputation filtering, malware scanning, data loss prevention, and behavioral analysis to detect and block threats in real-time before they can affect endpoints.
