Explanation

Network AMP (option A) is correct because the Cisco ASA with FirePOWER Services is a network appliance - it inspects files and traffic flowing through the network, which is precisely what the "network" version of AMP is designed to do. It identifies malware in network traffic without requiring any agent on individual hosts.

Why the distractors are wrong:

B. Content - AMP for Content Security integrates with email and web security appliances (ESA, WSA), not FirePOWER modules.
C. Endpoint - AMP for Endpoints requires a lightweight agent installed directly on each host (Windows, Mac, Linux), making it incompatible with a network device.
D. Applications - This is not a real AMP deployment category; it's a distractor with no corresponding Cisco product.

Memory tip: Match the deployment location to the AMP flavor - Network device = Network AMP, Host/PC = Endpoint AMP, Mail/Web gateway = Content AMP. FirePOWER lives on the network, so it gets Network AMP.
