350-701 Network Security Practice Question
A company is deploying Cisco AnyConnect SSL VPN and wants to enforce different access policies based on the endpoint's antivirus status. Which feature should be used?
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
✓
Dynamic Access Policy (DAP)
Dynamic Access Policy (DAP) allows granular access control based on endpoint attributes such as antivirus status, OS, registry keys, etc. Group policies provide basic settings but not dynamic evaluation.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Dynamic Access Policy (DAP)
Why this is correct
DAP evaluates endpoint attributes like antivirus to assign access.
- ✗
Group Policy
Why it's wrong here
Group policy is static; it does not evaluate endpoint attributes dynamically.
- ✗
Split Tunneling
Why it's wrong here
Split tunneling determines which traffic goes through the VPN, not access based on endpoint state.
- ✗
Network Access Control (NAC)
Why it's wrong here
NAC is a broader framework, not a specific AnyConnect feature.
Quick reference
VPN Protocol Comparison
| Protocol | Port | Encryption | Authentication | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IKEv2 / IPsec | UDP 500 / 4500 | AES-256 | Certificates / PSK | Site-to-site & remote access |
| SSL / TLS VPN | TCP 443 | TLS 1.3 | Certificates / MFA | Clientless remote access |
| L2TP / IPsec | UDP 1701 | AES (IPsec) | PSK / Certificates | Legacy remote access |
| WireGuard | UDP 51820 | ChaCha20 | Public keys | Modern high-performance VPN |
| PPTP | TCP 1723 | MPPE (weak) | MS-CHAPv2 | Legacy — avoid in production |
PPTP is considered insecure. IKEv2/IPsec and SSL VPN are the current recommended options.
