A.

The Cisco Secure Desktop (CSD) HostScan is a feature that allows the administrator to check the endpoint's compliance with the security policy. It can perform various endpoint assessments such as checking the endpoint operating system version, verifying the presence of specific applications or services, and confirming the configuration settings of the endpoint's security software.

Option A states that advanced endpoint assessment gives the ability to turn on an antivirus active scan function if it has been disabled. This statement is true. With advanced endpoint assessment, an administrator can enable an antivirus active scan function if it has been disabled, ensuring that the endpoint is scanned for malware.

Option B states that advanced endpoint assessment cannot force the antivirus software to automatically update the dat file if it has not been updated in n days. This statement is false. Advanced endpoint assessment can check if the antivirus software has been updated to the latest dat file. If the dat file has not been updated, CSD can force the antivirus software to update the dat file automatically.

Option C states that with basic endpoint assessment, you cannot check for multiple antivirus vendors' products and version. This statement is true. Basic endpoint assessment can only check for one antivirus software product and its version.

Option D states that advanced endpoint assessment cannot enable the firewall if it has been disabled. This statement is false. Advanced endpoint assessment can check if the firewall is enabled. If the firewall is disabled, CSD can enable the firewall automatically.

In summary, the correct answer is A - Advanced endpoint assessment gives you the ability to turn on an antivirus active scan function if it has been disabled.
