A CoA request is a network protocol message used in the context of network access control and authentication systems. It is typically employed in scenarios where a user’s access privileges or attributes need to be modified during an active network session. CoA requests are commonly used in conjunction with the RADIUS protocol, which is widely used for managing user authentication and authorization in network environments. When a CoA request is initiated, it is sent by a network access server (NAS) to a RADIUS server to request a change in the user’s authorization state or attributes. The CoA request contains information specifying the desired change, such as granting additional access privileges, revoking existing privileges, modifying session parameters, or updating user attributes. The RADIUS server processes the CoA request and applies the necessary changes to the user’s session in real-time, allowing dynamic adjustments to the user’s authorization and network access. CoA requests are often utilized in scenarios where an administrator needs to promptly update a user’s access rights without requiring them to terminate their current session. This flexibility is particularly valuable in environments that demand fine-grained access control or where access privileges need to be adjusted based on changing circumstances or policies. References :=

Cisco AMP (Advanced Malware Protection) is a product that provides proactive endpoint protection and allows administrators to centrally manage the deployment. AMP uses cloud-based intelligence, sandboxing, and continuous analysis to detect and block advanced threats before they reach the endpoints. AMP also provides retrospective security, which means that it can alert and remediate endpoints if a file that was previously deemed benign is later found to be malicious. AMP can be integrated with other Cisco products, such as Firepower, Meraki, and Email Security Appliance, to provide comprehensive security across the network. AMP is available for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS devices. References :=

The function of the crypto is a kmp key cisc406397954 address 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 command when establishing an IPsec VPN tunnel is to configure the pre-shared authentication key. This command specifies the key that will be used to authenticate the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) phase 1 negotiation between the IPsec peers. The key is associated with the address 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0, which means that it will apply to any peer that initiates or responds to the IKE negotiation. This is a common configuration for dynamic IPsec VPN scenarios, such as Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN) or Easy VPN, where the IP addresses of the peers are not known in advance. However, this is also a less secure configuration, as it exposes the VPN server to potential brute-force attacks from any source. A more secure configuration would be to specify the exact IP address or subnet of the peer, or to use certificates instead of pre-shared keys.

 The process that uses STIX and allows uploads and downloads of block lists is sharing. STIX (Structured Threat Information Expression) is a standard language and format for exchanging cyber threat intelligence data. Block lists are collections of observables, such as IP addresses, URLs, or domains, that are associated with malicious activity and can be used to block or monitor network traffic. Cisco Threat Intelligence Director (TID) is a feature that operationalizes threat intelligence data by consuming, normalizing, publishing, and correlating data from various sources, including third-party STIX feeds. TID enables the administrator to upload STIX files from local or remote sources, or download STIX files from the Firepower Management Center (FMC) to share with other systems. TID also allows the administrator to configure actions (such as block or monitor) based on the indicators and observables in the STIX files, and generate incidents and observations when the system detects traffic that matches the threat intelligence data123

A Trojan malware attack is a type of malicious code or software that disguises itself as a legitimate program or file to trick users into executing it. Once executed, the Trojan can perform various harmful actions on the infected system or network, such as stealing data, deleting files, or installing other malware. There are different types of Trojan malware attacks, depending on their purpose and behavior. Two common types are:

Rootkit: A rootkit is a type of Trojan that hides itself and other malware from detection and removal by antivirus software or system tools. A rootkit can modify the operating system or the firmware of the device to gain persistent and privileged access to the system. A rootkit can also intercept and manipulate system calls, network traffic, or user input to conceal its activities or redirect them to malicious servers.

Backdoor: A backdoor is a type of Trojan that creates a secret or unauthorized access point to the infected system or network. A backdoor can allow an attacker to remotely control the system, execute commands, upload or download files, or monitor the system activity. A backdoor can also be used to install other malware or launch further attacks on other systems or networks.

Cisco ASA NetFlow v9 Secure Event Logging (NSEL) is a security logging mechanism that is built on NetFlow Version 9 technology and provides stateful, IP flow tracking for significant events in a flow. NSEL requires a collector to receive and process the exported data records. To configure NSEL, you need to define a flow-export event type under a policy using the Modular Policy Framework (MPF). The event type specifies which events to export, such as flow-create, flow-denied, flow-teardown, flow-update, or all. You also need to configure the NSEL collectors, the template timeout intervals, and the flow-update interval. Optionally, you can disable the redundant syslog messages and reset the runtime counters.

The other statements are false because:

To view bandwidth usage for NetFlow records, the QoS feature is not required. You can use a NetFlow collector or analyzer to view the bandwidth usage and other statistics from the exported data records.

A sysopt command cannot be used to enable NSEL on a specific interface. NSEL is enabled globally on all interfaces by default when you configure a flow-export event type under a policy.

NSEL cannot be used without a collector configured. NSEL exports data records to the configured collectors using NetFlow over UDP. If no collector is configured, the data records are discarded.

A PAC file is a Proxy Auto-Configuration file that contains a JavaScript function that determines whether web browser requests go directly to the destination or are forwarded to a web proxy server. A PAC file allows the client desktop browsers to be configured to select when to connect direct or when to use the proxy based on the URL and the host name. A PAC file can be downloaded from a web server or a local file. A PAC file is more suitable for complex proxy configurations or multiple proxy servers12

A transparent mode is a proxy configuration where the client browsers do not need to be configured to use the proxy. The proxy intercepts the traffic and forwards it to the destination. A transparent mode does not allow the client browsers to select when to connect direct or when to use the proxy34

A forward file is not a valid proxy configuration method.

A bridge mode is a network configuration where a device connects two or more network segments and forwards traffic between them. A bridge mode is not a proxy configuration method5 References := 1: Proxy Auto-Configuration (PAC) file - HTTP | MDN 2: Proxy auto-config - Wikipedia 3: Explicit and Transparent Proxy - techdocs.broadcom.com 4: Configure Explicit Proxy - Palo Alto Networks | TechDocs 5: config web-proxy explicit | FortiGate / FortiOS 7.4.0

Explanation

You can configure discovery rules to tailor the discovery of host and application data to your needs.

The Firepower System can use data from NetFlow exporters to generate connection and discovery events, and to add host and application data to the network map.

A network analysis policy governs how traffic is decoded and preprocessed so it can be further evaluated, especially for anomalous traffic that might signal an intrusion attempt -> Answer D is not correct.

 TACACS+ is a protocol that provides authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) services for network devices. Unlike RADIUS, which only supports authorization at the user level, TACACS+ supports authorization at the command level. This means that TACACS+ can verify the permissions of the network administrator for every command that is entered, and allow or deny access accordingly. This provides more granular and secure control over network resources and operations. EAPOL, SSH, and RADIUS are not protocols that can provide command-level authorization for AAA. References :=

A virus is a type of malware that infects a computer system by attaching itself to another program or file. Once executed, the virus can replicate itself and spread to other files or systems. A virus can be used to gain unauthorized access to a computer system by exploiting software vulnerabilities, stealing credentials, or installing backdoors. A virus can also cause damage to the system by deleting, modifying, or encrypting data, or consuming system resources. According to the Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) course, viruses are one of the most common forms of malware and can be classified into different types based on their behavior, such as boot sector viruses, file infectors, macro viruses, or polymorphic viruses1. References: 1: Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) course, Module 1: Malware Analysis, Lesson 1: Malware Types and Characteristics, Topic: Virus.
