350-701 Practice Question: A company uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) and…
A company uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) and wants to integrate with Cisco Defense Orchestrator (CDO) for centralized security management. Which THREE capabilities does CDO provide when managing AWS security services? (Choose three.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between security management (CDO) and infrastructure provisioning (AWS native services), so candidates mistakenly assume CDO can manage IAM roles or VPC subnets, but CDO is strictly a security orchestration tool, not a cloud infrastructure manager.
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
✓
Monitor AWS CloudTrail logs for security events.
A is correct because Cisco Defense Orchestrator (CDO) can ingest and monitor AWS CloudTrail logs to detect security events, such as unauthorized API calls or policy violations. This integration allows CDO to correlate cloud-native audit logs with firewall events for centralized visibility and alerting, which is a key capability for cloud security management.
