NEW QUESTION # 19 
Refer to the exhibit. An engineer must create a segmentation policy in Cisco Secure Workload to block HTTP traffic. The indicated configuration was applied; however, HTTP traffic is still allowed. What should be done to meet the requirement?
- A. Change consumer_filter_ref to HTTP Consumer.
- B. Decrease the priority of the template to 50.
- C. Add HTTP to 14_params.
- D. Increase the priority of the template to 200.
Answer: C
Explanation:
The provided JSON-like policy structure shows a segmentation rule with action "BLOCK" and filters referencing the HTTPS Consumer and HTTPS Provider. However, to block HTTP, you must define the protocol explicitly in the parameters. The attribute "l4_params" is currently empty. According to Cisco Secure Workload best practices (SCAZT Section 4: Application and Data Security, Pages 88-91), Layer 4 parameters (l4_params) must be used to specify protocols such as HTTP or port 80. Without defining HTTP here, the policy does not apply to HTTP traffic.

NEW QUESTION # 29 
Refer to the exhibit. An engineer must configure a global allow list in Cisco Umbrella for the cisco.com domain. All other domains must be blocked. After creating a new policy and adding the cisco.com domain, the engineer attempts to access a site outside of cisco.com and is successful. Which additional Security Settings action must be taken to meet the requirement?
- A. Enforce SafeSearch.
- B. Enable Allow-Only Mode
- C. Apply Destination List.
- D. Limit Content Access.
Answer: B
Explanation:
When configuring Cisco Umbrella to block all traffic except to domains explicitly allowed (e.g., cisco.com), the "Allow-Only Mode" must be enabled. This setting overrides default behavior and ensures that only entries listed in the allow list are accessible-everything else is automatically blocked. According to SCAZT Section
1 (Cloud Security Architecture, Pages 16-19), enabling Allow-Only Mode is crucial for strict outbound DNS filtering.
Without this setting, the system allows access to all domains not explicitly blocked, which is why the engineer was able to access non-cisco.com domains despite defining an allow list.

NEW QUESTION # 33 
Refer to the exhibit. An engineer must configure a remote access IPsec/IKEv1 VPN that will use AES256 and SHA256 on a Cisco ASA firewall. The indicated configuration was applied to the firewall; however, the tunnel fails to establish. Which two IKEv1 policy commands must be run to meet the requirement? (Choose two.)
- A. integrity aes-256
- B. encryption aes-256
- C. ipsec-proposal sha-256-aes-256
- D. ipsec-proposal AES256-SHA256
- E. hash sha-256
Answer: B,E
Explanation:
In IKEv1 policy configuration for Cisco ASA, two key commands are required to define the encryption and hashing algorithms:
A: encryption aes-256 defines the encryption method for the IKE SA.
E: hash sha-256 ensures SHA-256 is used as the integrity mechanism during IKE phase 1.
According to Cisco documentation and SCAZT (Section 1: Cloud Security Architecture, Pages 19-22), these two components are essential to negotiating a secure VPN tunnel. The provided config uses group 1 (modp768), which is weak by today's standards and could also lead to negotiation failure. However, from the available options, encryption and hash are the two required for tunnel success.

NEW QUESTION # 34
When diagnosing issues with user application and workload access, which Cisco tool can provide actionable insights?
- A. Cisco Secure Network Analytics
- B. Cisco Secure Cloud Insights
- C. Cisco Secure Cloud Analytics
- D. All of the above
Answer: D
NEW QUESTION # 35 
Refer to the exhibit. An engineer is investigating an issue by using Cisco Secure Cloud Analytics. The engineer confirms that the connections are unauthorized and informs the incident management team. Which two actions must be taken next? (Choose two.)
- A. Reinstall the host from a recent backup.
- B. Quarantine the host
- C. Create a firewall rule that has a source of linux-gcp-east-4c, a destination of Any, and a protocol of SSH.
- D. Create a firewall rule that has a source of Any, a destination of linux-gcp-east-4c, and a protocol of SSH.
- E. Reinstall the host from scratch.
Answer: B,D
Explanation:
Based on the alert of "Geographically Unusual Remote Access" from Secure Cloud Analytics and the SSH logs from foreign IPs, this device (linux-gcp-east-4c) has likely been compromised. According to SCAZT Section 6: Threat Response (Pages 114-117):
B: Isolating/quarantining the host is an immediate incident response step to prevent lateral movement and data exfiltration.
E: A firewall rule blocking inbound SSH to the GCP VM from external sources would be the appropriate access control response to prevent recurrence.
Options A and C (reinstallation) may be used later during recovery but are not immediate containment steps.
Blocking outgoing SSH (Option D) is less relevant than restricting inbound SSH in this scenario.

NEW QUESTION # 36 
Refer to the exhibit. An engineer must block internal users from accessing Facebook and Facebook Apps. All other access must be allowed. The indicated policy was created in Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center and deployed to the internet edge firewall; however, users still can access Facebook. Which two actions must be taken to meet the requirement? (Choose two.)
- A. Set Applications to Facebook and Facebook Apps for rule 2.
- B. Set Destination Zones to outside for rule 1.
- C. Set Destination Zones to outside for rule 2.
- D. Set Source Zones to inside for rule 2.
- E. Set Source Zones to inside for rule 1.
Answer: B,E
Explanation:
In the provided screenshot of Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC), the rule labeled "Block Facebook" is intended to block access to Facebook and Facebook Apps. However, the rule lacks correct zone configurations, which is why the block is ineffective.
Per Cisco's best practices outlined in the Designing and Implementing Secure Cloud Access for Users and Endpoints (SCAZT) documentation and Cisco Secure Firewall documentation:
The source zone should reflect where the traffic is originating from-in this case, from internal users.
Therefore, Source Zone must be set to inside (Answer: E).
The destination zone should reflect where the traffic is headed-in this case, towards the internet. So, Destination Zone must be set to outside (Answer: D).
Without properly defining source and destination zones, FMC rules may not match the traffic correctly, resulting in traffic being incorrectly allowed.

Answer: B,C,D
NEW QUESTION # 39 
Refer to the exhibit. An engineer must configure VPN load balancing across two Cisco ASA. The indicated configuration was applied to each firewall; however, the load-balancing encryption scheme fails to work.
Which two commands must be run on each firewall to meet the requirements? (Choose two.)
- A. cluster encryption
- B. cluster port 9024
- C. hash sha-256
- D. encryption aes 256
- E. crypto ikev1 policy 1
Answer: A,D
Explanation:
To enable VPN load balancing with secure encryption between Cisco ASA firewalls, two additional commands are required:
encryption aes 256: Defines the encryption scheme used in the load balancing cluster. Without specifying encryption, secure key exchanges between devices will not occur properly.
cluster encryption: Enables encrypted communication between the clustered ASA devices. Without this command, cluster member synchronization is not securely established.
The commands shown in the exhibit correctly configure the cluster key and virtual IP but lack the necessary encryption parameters. According to Cisco's VPN load balancing implementation guides and reinforced in the SCAZT documentation, these two settings are required to secure the VPN session load distribution.
