A network security engineer is deploying Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) in a data center. The requirement is to inspect traffic between two internal VLANs while allowing the firewall to enforce access control policies based on source and destination zones. Which deployment mode should the engineer use?

A security architect is designing a zero-trust architecture for a remote workforce using Cisco SD-WAN. The company requires that all traffic between branch sites and the data center is encrypted and authenticated, and that no device can access resources unless it has a valid certificate. Which technology should be used to enforce device identity?

An engineer is troubleshooting a Cisco ASA firewall and notices that traffic from a specific subnet is being dropped. The engineer wants to verify if the drop is due to an access control list (ACL) or an inspection policy. Which command should be used to see the reason for packet drops?

Which TWO of the following are valid approaches to mitigate ARP spoofing attacks on a switched network?

Which THREE of the following are key principles of the Cisco Zero Trust security model?

Refer to the exhibit. An engineer has configured IP Source Guard and DHCP Snooping. A host with MAC 00:11:22:33:44:55 on Gi0/0 is assigned IP 192.168.1.10 via DHCP. However, the host cannot ping its default gateway 192.168.1.1. What is the most likely cause?

A network engineer is troubleshooting an issue where users on VLAN 10 cannot access the internet, but they can reach internal resources. The firewall is configured with a default route pointing to the ISP router. The engineer notices that NAT is configured but traffic is not being translated. Which configuration is most likely missing?

A security engineer is implementing Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) for 802.1X authentication. The requirement is to allow full network access for corporate devices that pass posture assessment, while providing limited access for guest devices. The engineer configures an authorization policy with conditions based on identity group and posture status. However, guest devices are still getting full access. What is the most likely cause?

A company wants to deploy a site-to-site VPN between two branch offices using Cisco IOS routers. The security policy requires that all traffic between the sites must be encrypted and authenticated using strong encryption. The engineer chooses IPsec with IKEv2. Which IPsec transform set configuration provides the strongest encryption and authentication?

An engineer is configuring Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) with a pre-filter policy to block traffic from known malicious IP addresses before it reaches the access control policy. The pre-filter rules are configured to block traffic from the malicious IPs. However, the engineer notices that some traffic from those IPs is still being allowed. What is the most likely reason?

A network administrator is configuring Cisco ASA with FirePOWER services. The administrator wants to inspect SSL traffic but is concerned about certificate pinning in modern applications. Which action should the administrator take to ensure that SSL inspection does not break applications that use certificate pinning?

An engineer applies the ACL shown in the exhibit to the inbound direction of interface GigabitEthernet0/0. The goal is to block all traffic from host 10.1.1.100 to the 192.168.0.0/16 network. However, traffic from 10.1.1.100 to 192.168.1.1 is still being permitted. What is the most likely reason?
