350-701 Practice Question: A company uses Cisco Secure Workload to enforce…
A company uses Cisco Secure Workload to enforce microsegmentation across multiple AWS accounts. After enabling enforcement, they find that the policies are only applied to workloads in the primary account. What is the most likely reason?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the misconception that agent registration alone is sufficient for enforcement across accounts, but the cloud connector is the critical component for multi-account discovery and policy application.

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
✓
The cloud connector is not configured for the secondary accounts
Cisco Secure Workload (formerly Tetration) uses cloud connectors to integrate with AWS accounts and discover workloads. When enforcement is enabled, the policies are applied only to workloads in the primary account because the cloud connector has not been configured for the secondary AWS accounts. Without the connector, the platform cannot manage or enforce policies on workloads outside the primary account.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The policy labels are not propagated
Why it's wrong here
Labels propagate globally; if enforcement is working in primary, labels are fine.
- ✗
The agents in secondary accounts are not registered
Why it's wrong here
Agent registration would show in the console; if agents are present, enforcement should work with correct connector.
- ✗
The enforcement scope is limited to a single VPC
Why it's wrong here
Even if scope is limited, it would affect only that VPC within the primary account, not all secondary accounts.
- ✓
The cloud connector is not configured for the secondary accounts
Why this is correct
Without a cloud connector for each account, Secure Workload cannot discover or enforce policies on those workloads.
