350-701 Practice Question: A DevOps team is deploying containers in…
A DevOps team is deploying containers in Kubernetes and needs to enforce network security policies between pods. Which Cisco solution is designed for this?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between cloud-native workload security (Secure Workload) and perimeter or DNS-layer security (Firepower, Umbrella) — the trap here is assuming a traditional firewall or DNS filter can enforce pod-level micro-segmentation in Kubernetes.

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 Secure Workload (Tetration)
Cisco Secure Workload (formerly Tetration) is the correct answer because it provides micro-segmentation and network policy enforcement for containerized environments like Kubernetes. It uses agent-based and agentless sensors to map all inter-pod traffic flows and enforce whitelist-based policies at the kernel level via eBPF or iptables, ensuring zero-trust between pods without requiring changes to the underlying network fabric.

- ✗
Cisco Cloudlock
Why it's wrong here
Cloudlock is for SaaS, not containers.

Cisco Umbrella
Why it's wrong here
Umbrella is DNS-layer security, not for pod networking.
- ✓
Cisco Secure Workload (Tetration)
Why this is correct
Tetration provides micro-segmentation and policy enforcement for containers.
- ✗
Cisco Firepower NGFW
Why it's wrong here
Firepower is not designed for Kubernetes network policies.
