350-701 Timed Practice Test 2 — 10 Questions

Question 1

Which THREE of the following are valid methods to deploy Cisco AMP for Endpoints Connector on Windows endpoints?

Accepted Answer

Group Policy Software Installation (MSI). Group Policy Software Installation (MSI) is a valid deployment method for Cisco AMP for Endpoints Connector on Windows endpoints because it allows administrators to distribute the AMP connector MSI package via Active Directory Group Policy Objects (GPOs). This method leverages Windows Installer technology for silent, automated installation across domain-joined machines, ensuring consistent deployment without user interaction.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure

Answer

Cisco DNA Center

Question 2

A network engineer needs to implement a security solution that provides encryption, integrity, and authentication at Layer 2 between two switches. Which technology should be used?

Accepted Answer

MACsec. MACsec (IEEE 802.1AE) provides hop-by-hop encryption, integrity, and authentication at Layer 2 (the data link layer) directly on Ethernet frames. It uses GCM-AES-128 or GCM-AES-256 to encrypt the entire payload and authenticate the frame, ensuring confidentiality and integrity between directly connected switches without requiring IP-layer processing.

Answer

SSL/TLS

Answer

IPsec

Answer

802.1X

Question 3

Which TWO indicators of compromise (IOCs) can Cisco AMP for Endpoints detect and alert on?

Accepted Answer

Fileless attack techniques (e.g., PowerShell injection). Cisco AMP for Endpoints uses advanced endpoint detection capabilities, including behavioral analysis and machine learning, to detect fileless attack techniques such as PowerShell injection. These techniques do not rely on traditional file-based signatures, but AMP monitors process execution, script activity, and memory patterns to identify malicious behavior in real time.

Answer

Malicious DNS queries

Answer

Phishing email headers

Answer

Anomalous network traffic patterns

Question 4

An administrator is troubleshooting authentication failures for VPN users. The RADIUS server is reachable via ping, but users receive 'AAA authentication failed'. Which command should be used to test communication with the RADIUS server?

Accepted Answer

test aaa group radius user password. The 'test aaa group radius user password' command is specifically designed to simulate an authentication attempt against a RADIUS server, allowing the administrator to verify whether the RADIUS server is properly processing credentials. Since the RADIUS server is reachable via ping but users still fail, this command isolates whether the issue lies in the AAA authentication process itself, such as incorrect shared secret, user credentials, or RADIUS attribute mismatches.

Answer

aaa new-model

Answer

show radius server statistics

Answer

debug radius authentication

Question 5

A cloud security team is investigating a possible data exfiltration incident involving an AWS S3 bucket configured with cross-region replication. Which Cisco Cloudlock feature can detect unusual replication patterns that may indicate data theft?

Accepted Answer

Cloudlock User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA). Cloudlock UEBA is the correct answer because it establishes behavioral baselines for user and entity activities, such as S3 bucket replication patterns. When cross-region replication deviates from the learned baseline—e.g., unusual volume, frequency, or destination—UEBA generates an anomaly alert, directly detecting potential data exfiltration. This is a core capability of Cisco Cloudlock's cloud access security broker (CASB) functionality.

Answer

Umbrella threat intelligence

Answer

Stealthwatch Cloud flow logs

Answer

Firepower IPS signatures

Question 6

An attacker uses ARP spoofing to intercept traffic between two devices on the same subnet. After successfully becoming a man-in-the-middle, the attacker can then perform which further attack to downgrade HTTPS connections to HTTP?

Accepted Answer

SSL stripping. SSL stripping is a MITM attack that downgrades HTTPS connections to HTTP by intercepting the initial HTTPS request and maintaining a plaintext connection with the client.

Answer

Session hijacking

Answer

DNS cache poisoning

Answer

Typosquatting

Question 7

A company wants to implement two-factor authentication for remote VPN access using Cisco AnyConnect. They need a solution that supports push notifications to a mobile app. Which Cisco product meets this requirement?

Accepted Answer

Cisco Duo. Cisco Duo provides multi-factor authentication with push notifications, TOTP, and other methods, and integrates with AnyConnect VPN.

Answer

Cisco SecureX

Answer

Cisco ISE with certificate-based authentication

Answer

Cisco AMP for Endpoints

Question 8

You are tasked with securing a new cloud deployment on AWS. The environment consists of a web application running on EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB), with data stored in an RDS database. The security requirements include: (1) protect against web application attacks (SQL injection, XSS), (2) ensure only authorized users can access the application, (3) monitor for anomalous behavior. You have decided to use AWS WAF for web application protection, AWS Cognito for user authentication, and Amazon GuardDuty for threat detection. However, the CISO also wants to integrate with Cisco's security portfolio for centralized management and visibility. Which Cisco product would best integrate with these AWS services to provide centralized security management?

Accepted Answer

Cisco Secure Cloud Analytics (Stealthwatch). Cisco Secure Cloud Analytics (Stealthwatch) is the correct choice because it provides centralized visibility and threat detection across hybrid cloud environments, including AWS. It integrates with AWS CloudWatch and VPC Flow Logs to ingest network telemetry, and it can correlate alerts from AWS GuardDuty, WAF, and Cognito into a single pane of glass for security operations. This aligns with the CISO's requirement for centralized management and visibility using Cisco's security portfolio.

Answer

Cisco Firepower NGFW

Answer

Cisco Cloudlock

Answer

Cisco Tetration

Question 9

Match each security technology to its primary function.

Accepted Answer

Firewall: Filters traffic based on stateful inspection and access control lists.. Firewall filters traffic based on rules; IDS/IPS monitors for threats; VPN provides secure tunnels; NAC enforces compliance. Common mistakes include confusing IDS/IPS with firewall and NAC with VPN.

Answer

Firewall: Monitors network traffic for malicious activity and can block or alert.

Answer

VPN: Enforces endpoint compliance and access policies.

Question 10

An organization wants to deploy AMP for Endpoints in an offline environment where endpoints cannot connect to the internet. Which deployment option is appropriate?

Accepted Answer

Install a Cisco AMP Private Cloud appliance within the local network and point connectors to it.. Cisco AMP for Endpoints offers a Private Cloud appliance that can be deployed on-premises in an offline environment. This appliance replicates all cloud-based threat intelligence and analysis locally, allowing endpoints to communicate with it via the AMP connector without requiring internet access. The Private Cloud appliance handles all file disposition, retrospective alerts, and policy updates within the local network.

Answer

Deploy the AMP connectors with a local proxy caching all AMP communications.

Answer

Configure the AMP connectors in 'Standalone' mode to operate without cloud communication.

Answer

Use Cisco ESA as an intermediary to proxy AMP requests from endpoints.
