Explanation
On Cisco's Email Security Appliance (ESA), IronPort Anti-Spam (C), Sophos Anti-Virus (D), and Outbreak Filters (E) are the three security features enabled by default in the outgoing mail policy - Cisco ships the ESA with its own integrated scanning engines active out of the box so basic protection requires no manual enablement.
Why the distractors are wrong:
- (A) McAfee Anti-Virus is available on the ESA as an alternative AV engine, but it is not enabled by default - Sophos is the default AV engine, and McAfee must be explicitly activated.
- (B) Bounce Verification is a feature that validates that bounce messages correspond to mail originally sent by your system, but it requires deliberate configuration and is not on by default.
Memory tip: Think of the acronym "ISO" - IronPort Anti-Spam, Sophos Anti-Virus, Outbreak Filters. These are Cisco's own bundled defaults. McAfee is the "other" AV (not the default), and Bounce Verification is a manual hardening step you add later.
