Configure Cisco Secure Email Threat Defense to detect or remediate phishing and business email compromise using appropriate supported integration and policy. This response applies to Email Threat Defense anti impersonation controls, not the controlling requirement in this case. Email Threat Defense uses message and behavioral context; an authenticated sender domain or clean attachment does not prove a message is safe. For this scenario, the targeted action is: Isolate high-risk endpoints using approved EDR response while preserving evidence and controlled paths for incident handling. Situation: A critical healthcare workstation is flagged for malware and the SOC must decide safe containment without losing evidence.

Choose endpoint prevention, behavioral detection, and response capabilities based on business risk and investigation needs rather than equating antivirus with EDR. This response applies to Endpoint protection versus detection response, not the controlling requirement in this case. EPP focuses preventative controls and EDR records and investigates suspicious endpoint activity and supports response; the capabilities overlap but are not interchangeable. For this scenario, the targeted action is: Isolate high-risk endpoints using approved EDR response while preserving evidence and controlled paths for incident handling.

Broad folder or process exclusions can create lasting blind spots; false-positive tuning requires evidence and defined review dates. For this scenario, the targeted action is: Isolate high-risk endpoints using approved EDR response while preserving evidence and controlled paths for incident handling. Situation: A critical healthcare workstation is flagged for malware and the SOC must decide safe containment without losing evidence.
