300-445 Question 51
Select 3Your organization has decided to deploy a Secure Client for endpoint protection and network assurance. During the deployment, you need to ensure that the Secure Client is configured to provide secure access to corporate resources while maintaining compliance with company policies. Which of the following actions must you perform as part of the deployment process to achieve these goals?
- A
Integrate the Secure Client with the organization's Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution for user authentication.
- B
Configure Always-On VPN functionality to ensure automatic and consistent secure connectivity for users.
- C
Enable split tunneling to route all corporate traffic through the client while bypassing non-corporate traffic.
- D
Implement compliance checks to validate endpoint security posture before allowing access to corporate resources.
- E
Disable multi-factor authentication (MFA) to streamline user access and reduce connection setup time.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
To deploy the Secure Client effectively, you must integrate it with IAM for secure authentication, configure Always-On VPN for consistent protection, and implement compliance checks to ensure endpoints meet security requirements. Split tunneling for corporate traffic introduces risks, and disabling MFA weakens security, making these actions inappropriate.
- A. Correct.
Integrating the Secure Client with the organization's IAM solution ensures secure and centralized authentication for users, which is critical for maintaining access control policies.
- B. Correct.
Configuring Always-On VPN ensures that users are always connected securely to corporate resources, even when switching networks, providing consistent protection.
- C. Incorrect.
Enabling split tunneling for all corporate traffic bypasses certain security protocols, which can expose sensitive data to potential threats. This is generally not recommended unless specific use cases demand it.
- D. Correct.
Implementing compliance checks ensures that only endpoints meeting the organization's security standards (e.g., up-to-date antivirus, disk encryption) are allowed to connect to corporate resources.
- E. Incorrect.
Disabling multi-factor authentication (MFA) weakens security by removing an additional layer of protection. MFA should be enabled to enhance security during authentication.
