350-701 Practice Question: A company has deployed Cisco AnyConnect VPN for…
A company has deployed Cisco AnyConnect VPN for remote access. They want to enforce that only company-managed devices with compliant antivirus and disk encryption can connect. Which solution should be added to the ASA?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between network security controls (like IPS, DNS filtering, or flow analysis) and endpoint compliance enforcement, leading candidates to confuse a posture assessment requirement with a general security appliance.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) with posture assessment
Cisco ISE with posture assessment is the correct solution because it integrates with the ASA to enforce endpoint compliance before granting VPN access. Posture assessment checks for specific conditions such as antivirus status, disk encryption, and OS patch levels, ensuring only company-managed devices that meet security policies can connect via AnyConnect.
