A company is deploying cloud workload protection for their Azure VMs. They want to ensure that security policies are automatically adjusted based on workload changes. Which technology should they implement?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse Cisco Secure Workload with Cisco Stealthwatch, assuming both provide similar workload visibility, but Stealthwatch lacks the automated policy enforcement and micro-segmentation capabilities that Secure Workload offers for dynamic cloud environments.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Cisco Secure Workload
Cisco Secure Workload (formerly Tetration) is the correct choice because it provides workload protection for Azure VMs with automatic policy adjustment based on workload changes. It uses agent-based and agentless sensors to collect telemetry, builds a dependency map, and enforces micro-segmentation policies that dynamically adapt as workloads scale, migrate, or change, meeting the requirement for automated security policy adjustment.
