The functional difference between Cisco Secure Endpoint (formerly known as AMP for Endpoints) and Cisco Umbrella Roaming Client lies in their approach to security. Cisco Secure Endpoint is designed to prevent, detect, and respond to threats on the endpoint devices. It provides comprehensive protection by stopping and tracking malicious files and activities on hosts, utilizing continuous analysis and retrospective security to address threats at various stages of the attack continuum. On the other hand, Cisco Umbrella Roaming Client is focused on DNS and IP layer enforcement to prevent internet-based threats before a connection is established. It primarily tracks and blocks URL-based threats by enforcing security at the DNS layer, thus preventing access to malicious domains. Therefore, while Secure Endpoint provides broad endpoint protection against a variety of threats, the Umbrella Roaming Client specifically targets URL-based threats.

In a remote access VPN configuration, dynamic split tunneling allows traffic to certain trusted domains to bypass the VPN tunnel and exit through the client's local internet gateway. This feature selectively directs only the necessary traffic over the VPN, while allowing direct internet access for specific domains or traffic deemed safe or trusted, optimizing bandwidth and performance for remote users.

One of the benefits of a Cisco Secure Email Gateway Virtual appliance compared to a physical one is the ability to allocate additional resources as needed. Virtual appliances can be easily scaled up by allocating more CPU, memory, or storage resources, providing flexibility and scalability in response to changing demands or growth.

To connect Cisco Secure Workload to external orchestrators at a client site where incoming connections are not allowed, a reverse tunnel must be used. A reverse tunnel initiates the connection from the inside of the client's network out to the external orchestrator, thereby bypassing restrictions on incoming connections and enabling secure communication.

The difference between GRE over IPsec and IPsec with crypto map is that GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) over IPsec can encapsulate and transport non-IP protocols across an IP network, whereas IPsec with crypto map is typically used for IP traffic. GRE tunnels wrapped in IPsec provide a way to transport multicast traffic and other protocol types across an IPsec VPN, offering greater flexibility in the types of traffic that can be secured.

For TACACS authentication to work, the key configured on the network device must match the key configured on the TACACS server. If users are unable to authenticate despite the TACACS server being reachable, it is likely due to a mismatch in the keys. Ensuring that both the network device and the TACACS server have the same key configured is crucial for successful authentication.

In Cisco Secure Endpoint, to create a custom detection file list for detecting and quarantining future files, an advanced custom detection should be created, and the hash of each file to be detected and quarantined should be uploaded. This allows the system to uniquely identify and take action on files based on their hash values, providing a precise method for targeting specific malicious or unwanted files.

Before identifying the URL during HTTPS inspection in Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense software, the default action is to 'pass.' This means that the traffic is allowed through without inspection until the URL can be identified, at which point appropriate security policies can be applied based on the URL categorization and reputation.

When the Cisco Secure Firewall downloads threat intelligence updates from Cisco Talos, it is engaged in 'consumption.' This term refers to the process of receiving and utilizing threat intelligence data to enhance security measures. Cisco Talos provides comprehensive threat intelligence that Cisco Secure Firewall consumes to update its threat detection and prevention capabilities.
