300-415 Question 208
Select 4A healthcare organization is deploying Cisco SD-WAN and requires enhanced security for protecting sensitive patient data as it traverses the WAN. Which set of Cisco SD-WAN security features is most relevant to ensure compliance with data protection regulations and prevent unauthorized access?
- A
Secure Direct Internet Access (DIA) with URL filtering and DNS security
- B
IPSec encryption for all WAN edge device-to-device communication
- C
Integrated next-generation firewall (NGFW) for application-aware security
- D
Quality of Service (QoS) policies for prioritizing critical healthcare applications
- E
Segmentation using VPNs to isolate patient data traffic from other enterprise traffic
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, C, E
Explanation
The correct answers focus on Cisco SD-WAN features that directly enhance security, such as encryption, traffic filtering, application-aware firewalls, and segmentation. These features work together to meet the healthcare organization's compliance requirements and protect sensitive patient data. Quality of Service (QoS), while important for application performance, does not directly address security concerns.
- A. Correct.
Secure Direct Internet Access (DIA) with URL filtering and DNS security is a critical Cisco SD-WAN security feature that ensures internet-bound traffic is monitored and filtered for malicious content, protecting sensitive data.
- B. Correct.
IPSec encryption is a core security feature in Cisco SD-WAN that ensures data confidentiality and integrity by encrypting traffic between WAN edge devices.
- C. Correct.
The integrated next-generation firewall (NGFW) in Cisco SD-WAN provides advanced security by inspecting and controlling traffic based on applications and threats, protecting sensitive patient data.
- D. Incorrect.
Quality of Service (QoS) policies are used to prioritize traffic but are not directly related to security. This option does not address data protection or unauthorized access prevention.
- E. Correct.
Segmentation using VPNs is a key Cisco SD-WAN feature that isolates traffic to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data, ensuring compliance with healthcare data protection regulations.
