Explanation
Sophos and McAfee (D, E) are the two licensed anti-virus scanning engines integrated into Cisco's IronPort C-Series Email Security Appliances. Cisco specifically partnered with these two vendors to provide dual-engine AV scanning, allowing administrators to run one or both engines simultaneously for layered protection.
Why the distractors are wrong:
- Symantec (A) - Symantec has its own email security products but is not an integrated AV engine option on the C-Series.
- TrendMicro (B) - A major AV vendor, but not a supported engine on the C-Series platform.
- BrightMail (C) - BrightMail (now Symantec Brightmail) is an anti-spam technology, not an anti-virus engine - a classic category confusion trap.
Memory tip: Think "Sophos and McAfee = SMArt mail security" - the two engines Cisco chose for its C-Series. Also remember that BrightMail is always about spam, not viruses, which eliminates C immediately.
