350-701 Practice Question: Implementing cloud security posture management…
A company is implementing cloud security posture management (CSPM). Which Cisco product provides CSPM capabilities?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between network security products (Firepower, ISE) and cloud-native security tools (Cloudlock), so the trap here is assuming that a well-known network security product like Firepower or ISE can also handle cloud posture management, when in fact CSPM requires a dedicated cloud-integrated solution like Cloudlock.
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 Cloudlock
Cisco Cloudlock is the correct answer because it is Cisco's cloud-native cloud security posture management (CSPM) solution. It continuously monitors cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) for misconfigurations, compliance violations, and security risks, providing automated remediation and visibility into cloud security posture. This directly aligns with the CSPM use case described in the question.
