350-201 Question 109
Single answerA company is experiencing a surge in malicious network activity targeting internal servers. As part of the investigation, you are tasked with implementing a Cisco security solution to monitor traffic, prevent attacks, and provide deep visibility into the network for detecting anomalies. Which Cisco technology or feature would best address this requirement?
- A
Cisco Secure Firewall with Threat Defense and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)
- B
Cisco Umbrella for DNS-level security
- C
Cisco Duo for multi-factor authentication
- D
Cisco AnyConnect for secure remote access
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The scenario requires a solution that can monitor network traffic, detect anomalies, and prevent attacks. Cisco Secure Firewall with Threat Defense and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) is specifically designed for this purpose, offering advanced threat detection and prevention capabilities. Other options, such as Cisco Umbrella, Cisco Duo, and Cisco AnyConnect, address different aspects of cybersecurity but do not meet the specific requirements of this scenario.
- A. Correct.
Cisco Secure Firewall with Threat Defense and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) is the correct choice because it provides advanced traffic monitoring, intrusion prevention, and deep visibility into network activity, which are essential for addressing malicious network activity and detecting anomalies.
- B. Incorrect.
Cisco Umbrella provides DNS-level security and is primarily designed to block malicious domains and enforce internet usage policies. While useful, it does not offer the deep network visibility or intrusion prevention needed in this scenario.
- C. Incorrect.
Cisco Duo is a multi-factor authentication solution that enhances identity security. However, it is not designed for monitoring or preventing malicious network activity.
- D. Incorrect.
Cisco AnyConnect ensures secure remote access for users but does not provide capabilities for network traffic monitoring or intrusion prevention.
