A. file trajectory; C. Orbital Advanced Search
Explanation

Cisco Secure Endpoint (formerly AMP for Endpoints) is an Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solution. Its core capabilities include providing deep visibility and control over endpoint activity. File Trajectory is a key feature that visually maps the path and propagation of a file across all protected endpoints, showing its origin and activity. Orbital Advanced Search is another integral feature that uses OSquery to allow security analysts to run complex queries on endpoints for proactive threat hunting and IT operations, providing granular visibility into the device's current state.

Why Incorrect

B. rogue wireless detection: This is a network security feature, typically handled by Wireless LAN Controllers (WLCs) or network management solutions like Cisco DNA Center, not an endpoint agent.
D. web content filtering: This is a primary function of a secure web gateway or cloud security service, such as Cisco Umbrella, not a core feature of Cisco Secure Endpoint.
E. full disk encryption: This is a data-at-rest protection mechanism typically provided by the operating system (e.g., BitLocker, FileVault) or specialized encryption software, not by an EDR solution.

the document explicitly lists and describes:

File Trajectory: "Track the spread of malware across PCs

and mobile devices. The file trajectory view shows the malware’s origin and the path it has taken."

Orbital Advanced Search: "Orbital Advanced Search provides over 100 pre-canned queries to help you hunt for threats. It uses OSquery to get deep visibility into the state of your endpoints."
