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.

A network discovery policy is required for the health monitoring feature on the Cisco Firepower Next Generation Intrusion Prevention System (NGIPS). Health monitoring allows the system to collect and display information about the health and performance of the managed devices, such as CPU, memory, disk, and interface utilization, as well as the status of various processes and services. Health monitoring also enables the system to generate alerts and notifications when certain thresholds or conditions are met or violated.

To enable health monitoring, the system must have access to the network data from the managed devices, which is provided by the network discovery policy. The network discovery policy controls how the system collects data on the network assets and which network segments and ports are monitored. The network discovery policy also specifies the zones to which the policy is deployed, which determines the scope of the health monitoring data. Without a network discovery policy, the system cannot perform health monitoring on the NGIPS devices.

When a Cisco WSA receives a web request, it evaluates it against the policies in the policy table. Each policy type has a predefined, global policy, which maintains default actions for that policy type. If the web request does not match any user-defined policy, the WSA applies the global policy. The global policy can be configured to allow, block, or redirect the web request based on various criteria. The global policy acts as a catch-all policy for any web request that is not explicitly handled by a user-defined policy. References :=
