20+ practice questions focused on Cloud Security — one of the most tested topics on the Cisco SCOR / CCNP Security Core 350-701 exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation so you learn why the right answer is correct.
Start Cloud Security PracticeA company uses Cisco ASA access lists to filter network traffic to internal servers. They want to allow RDP access (port 3389) only from the company's public IP range. Which type of access list should be created?
Explanation: An inbound access list on the Cisco ASA interface that is closest to the internal servers can allow traffic from the company's IP range to port 3389. Outbound access lists control traffic leaving the interface. NAT rules are for address translation, not for filtering traffic.
A company uses AWS and needs to securely connect their on-premises data center to a VPC without traversing the public internet. Which solution should they use?
Explanation: Private connectivity options like AWS Direct Connect provide direct, private connections to AWS.
A company uses Cisco Cloud Security Groups (CSGs) to control traffic between subnets. They need to allow traffic from the frontend subnet to the backend subnet only on TCP 443. Which configuration correctly achieves this?
Explanation: CSGs are stateful; an inbound rule on the backend CSG allowing TCP 443 from frontend subnet is sufficient. Outbound rules are not needed because stateful filtering allows return traffic.
A company wants to establish private connectivity between its on-premises data center and a VPC in AWS, avoiding the public internet. Which AWS service should be used?
Explanation: AWS Direct Connect is a dedicated private network connection from on-premises to AWS, bypassing the public internet. AWS PrivateLink is designed for private access to AWS services from within a VPC, not for on-premises connectivity. AWS VPN uses the public internet. AWS Transit Gateway is a network transit hub, not a direct connectivity service.
An organization wants to enforce conditional access policies for users accessing cloud applications. Which Cisco product should they use?
Explanation: Cisco Duo Conditional Access evaluates signals like user, device, location, and risk to enforce access policies for cloud applications.
