350-701 Practice Test — Free Cisco SCOR / CCNP Security Core 350-701 Questions with Explanations

Which security model requires that all subjects and devices are untrusted by default, and access is granted only after verification, regardless of the network location?

A security analyst notices unusual outbound traffic from an internal host to a known malicious IP address on TCP port 4444. The host is also exhibiting high CPU usage and running an unknown process. Which type of malware is most likely present?

An organization wants to ensure that digital certificates issued by its internal CA are validated for revocation in real-time. Which protocol should be implemented to allow clients to check certificate status without downloading a full CRL?

During a penetration test, an attacker sends a malicious payload to a web application that causes the server to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the backend database. Which type of attack is being performed?

A security administrator is configuring a Cisco Firepower NGFW to detect and block application-layer DDoS attacks. Which type of DDoS attack is characterized by overwhelming a server with incomplete HTTP requests, causing resource exhaustion?

An engineer is configuring a Cisco ASA and needs to ensure that traffic from the outside interface to a web server on the DMZ is allowed. The inside interface is security level 100 and the DMZ is level 50. The outside interface is level 0. Which statement about the default traffic flow is true?

A network administrator is configuring NAT on a Cisco ASA to allow internal users to access the internet using a single public IP address. The internal network uses RFC 1918 addresses. Which type of NAT should be configured?

An engineer is configuring a Modular Policy Framework (MPF) on a Cisco ASA to inspect HTTP traffic and apply QoS. The engineer creates a class-map to match HTTP traffic using the 'match port tcp 80' command. However, the policy is not being applied correctly. What is the most likely reason?

A company uses Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) managed by FMC. They need to create an access control policy that allows traffic from specific source IPs to a web server, but blocks all other traffic. How should the rule base be ordered?

A company is moving its on-premises applications to AWS EC2 instances. According to the shared responsibility model, which of the following is the customer's responsibility?

An organization uses multiple SaaS applications and wants to enforce data loss prevention (DLP) policies to prevent sensitive data from being shared externally. Which cloud security solution should be deployed?

A security engineer is configuring Cisco Umbrella to enforce web security for remote users. The requirement is to block threats by intercepting DNS requests and only perform SSL decryption on specific high-risk categories. Which Umbrella feature should be used for selective SSL inspection?

A security administrator notices that a significant volume of spam is bypassing the Cisco ESA's anti-spam filters. Upon investigation, they find that the messages have a mid-range SBRS score of 5.0. Which action should the administrator take to improve spam detection?

An organization is deploying Cisco ESA and wants to ensure that outbound emails containing credit card numbers are blocked. The administrator configures a DLP policy to scan for credit card patterns. However, some legitimate emails with credit card numbers are being incorrectly blocked. What is the best approach to reduce false positives while still preventing data leakage?

A Cisco WSA administrator wants to block access to social media sites for all users during work hours. The proxy is deployed in explicit mode. Which policy type should the administrator use to enforce this restriction?

A security administrator notices that several endpoints in the finance department are exhibiting unusual network behavior, including connections to known malicious IP addresses. The administrator has deployed Cisco Secure Endpoint (formerly AMP for Endpoints) with TETRA and has enabled the built-in firewall. What is the best course of action to quickly identify the root cause and contain the threat?

An organization wants to prevent malware from executing on endpoints by using a file reputation service. Which Cisco technology provides cloud-based file reputation and analysis for endpoint protection?

A network administrator is configuring Cisco ISE to enforce access control based on user authentication. The company requires that only users who authenticate via Active Directory are allowed access to the corporate wireless network. Which policy should be configured in ISE to accomplish this?

A company uses Cisco ISE for network access control. Users connecting via wired 802.1X are successfully authenticated but cannot reach the internet. The administrator checks the authorization policy and notices that the correct dACL is being applied. What is the most likely cause of the issue?

An organization is implementing TrustSec to enforce micro-segmentation. The Security Group Tag (SGT) is assigned to a user via ISE after authentication. However, traffic from this user to a server with SGT 5 is being dropped. The administrator checks the SGACL configuration on the switch and finds the following: 'permit ip source 2 destination 5'. What is the most likely reason for the traffic being dropped?
