Explanation

FireSIGHT Management Center (option D) is the correct answer because File Trajectory is a feature of Cisco's Sourcefire/FireSIGHT product family, specifically designed to track the propagation of files-including malware-across network hosts over time. FireSIGHT MC serves as the centralized management console for this advanced threat intelligence capability, part of Cisco's AMP (Advanced Malware Protection) ecosystem.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A. Cisco Prime Infrastructure manages network infrastructure (routers, switches, wireless) - not advanced security threat features like file tracking.
• B. Cisco Security Manager manages traditional security policies on ASA firewalls and legacy IPS sensors, but lacks the AMP/file analysis capabilities.
• C. Cisco ASDM is a local, device-level GUI for individual ASA appliances - it has no visibility into file propagation across the network.

Memory tip: Think "FIRESIGHT tracks where files spread like fire." FireSIGHT is the platform built around Sourcefire technology (which Cisco acquired), and its core strength is threat visibility - seeing trajectories of threats across your network - making it the natural home for File Trajectory services.
