350-201 Question 116
Single answerYour organization recently deployed Cisco Secure Workload to monitor application behavior and secure workloads in a hybrid cloud environment. During an investigation, you notice unusual traffic patterns between two workloads that belong to different applications. Which feature of Cisco Secure Workload should you use to analyze the communication and enforce security policies?
- A
Application Dependency Mapping (ADM)
- B
Network Access Control Lists (ACLs)
- C
Endpoint Protection Policies
- D
Threat Intelligence Feeds
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Cisco Secure Workload's Application Dependency Mapping (ADM) feature is specifically designed to provide deep insights into application communication by visualizing traffic patterns and dependencies. This functionality is critical for identifying unusual or unauthorized traffic flows and for creating micro-segmentation policies to secure applications in hybrid cloud environments.
- A. Correct.
Application Dependency Mapping (ADM) is used to analyze communication between workloads and provides visibility into inter-application traffic, allowing you to create and enforce appropriate security policies.
- B. Incorrect.
Network Access Control Lists (ACLs) are used to control access at the network level, but they do not provide the application-level visibility needed to analyze workload communication.
- C. Incorrect.
Endpoint Protection Policies are designed to secure individual endpoints and do not offer the ability to analyze inter-application traffic or enforce workload-specific policies.
- D. Incorrect.
Threat Intelligence Feeds provide information about known threats but do not help in analyzing or securing communication between workloads.
