DLP (Data Loss Prevention) is a security service that is configured only through an outgoing mail policy on Cisco ESA. DLP allows Cisco ESA to scan outgoing messages for sensitive or confidential data, such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, health records, etc., and apply appropriate actions, such as encrypt, quarantine, notify, etc., to prevent data leakage or loss.

According to the Cisco Secure Email Threat Defense User Guide, the No Authentication option is only available if you are using a Cisco Secure Email Gateway (SEG) as your message source. This option allows visibility only, no remediation1.

The other options are not valid because:

• A. Basic Authentication is not a visibility and remediation mode for Cisco Secure Email Threat Defense. It is a method of authenticating users with a username and password2.
• C. Microsoft 365 Authentication is a visibility and remediation mode that allows you to use Microsoft 365 credentials to access Cisco Secure Email Threat Defense. It has two sub-options: Read/Write and Read. This mode is available for both Microsoft 365 and Gateway message sources1.
• D. Cisco Security Cloud Sign On is not a visibility and remediation mode for Cisco Secure Email Threat Defense. It is a service that manages user authentication for Cisco security products, including Cisco Secure Email Threat Defense3.

Condition is a component that must be added to the content filter to trigger on failed SPF Verification or DKIM Authentication verdicts. Condition is a criterion that determines whether a message matches a content filter rule or not, such as message size, sender address, attachment type, etc.

To add a condition to the content filter that triggers on failed SPF Verification or DKIM Authentication verdicts, the administrator can follow these steps:

• Select Mail Policies > Content Filters and click Add Filter.
• Enter a name and description for the content filter.
• Under Conditions, click Add Condition.
• Choose SPF Verification or DKIM Authentication from the drop-down menu.
• Choose Fail from the drop-down menu.
• Click Submit.

The other options are not valid components to trigger on failed SPF Verification or DKIM Authentication verdicts, because they are not part of content filters.
