Explanation

Options A (Sophos Anti-Virus), D (IronPort Anti-Spam), and E (Outbreak Filters) are correct because they directly address the customer's stated concern about phishing and virus attacks. Sophos Anti-Virus scans for malware in email attachments, IronPort Anti-Spam filters phishing and unsolicited bulk email, and Outbreak Filters provide real-time threat intelligence to detect emerging virus and phishing campaigns before traditional signatures exist - together forming a layered defense on a single C-Series appliance.

Why the distractors are wrong:

  • B (IronPort Email Encryption) protects data confidentiality in transit - useful for compliance, but doesn't detect or block threats.
  • C (Bounce Verification) prevents backscatter from forged bounce messages - a niche deliverability feature, not a threat-detection tool.
  • F (Centralized Management) is an administrative feature for managing multiple appliances; the question specifies a single appliance, making this irrelevant.

Memory tip: Think "AVS" - Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam (IronPort), and Outbreak Filters form the security triad on a C-Series. Anything about encryption, management, or bounce handling is infrastructure/admin, not threat protection.
