- Compare the components, capabilities, and benefits of local and cloud-based email and
web solutions (ESA, CES, WSA)
- Configure and verify web and email security deployment methods to protect onpremises and remote users (inbound and outbound controls and policy management)
- Configure and verify email security features such as SPAM filtering, antimalware
filtering, DLP, block listing, and email encryption
- Configure and verify secure internet gateway and web security features such as block
listing, URL filtering, malware scanning, URL categorization, web application filtering,
and TLS decryption

settings, destination lists, and reporting)
5.0 Endpoint Protection and Detection
- Compare Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPP) and Endpoint Detection & Response
(EDR) solutions
- Explain antimalware, retrospective security, Indication of Compromise (IOC), antivirus,
dynamic file analysis, and endpoint-sourced telemetry
- Configure and verify outbreak control and quarantines to limit infection
- Describe justifications for endpoint-based security
- Describe the value of endpoint device management and asset inventory such as MDM
- Describe the uses and importance of a multifactor authentication (MFA) strategy
- Describe endpoint posture assessment solutions to ensure endpoint security
- Explain the importance of an endpoint patching strategy
6.0 Secure Network Access, Visibility, and Enforcement
- Describe identity management and secure network access concepts such as guest
services, profiling, posture assessment and BYOD
- Configure and verify network access device functionality such as 802.1X, MAB, WebAuth
- Describe network access with CoA
- Describe the benefits of device compliance and application control
- Explain exfiltration techniques (DNS tunneling, HTTPS, email, FTP/SSH/SCP/SFTP, ICMP,
Messenger, IRC, NTP)
- Describe the benefits of network telemetry
- Describe the components, capabilities, and benefits of these security products and
solutions
