350-701 Practice Question: Is deploying Cisco Cloud Workload Protection…
An organization is deploying Cisco Cloud Workload Protection (CWP) in AWS. Which THREE of the following components are part of a standard CWP architecture?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between CWP's workload-specific components (sensor, enforcement point, analysis server) and other Cisco cloud security products like CSPM or Umbrella, so candidates mistakenly include CSPM or DNS connectors as part of CWP.

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Workload sensor (agent or agentless)
The workload sensor (agent or agentless) is a core component of Cisco Cloud Workload Protection (CWP) because it provides visibility into workload activity, including process execution, network connections, and file integrity. This sensor collects telemetry data from workloads running in AWS and forwards it to the centralized analysis engine for threat detection and policy enforcement.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) scanner
Why it's wrong here
CSPM is typically a different tool; CWP focuses on workload protection.
- ✓
Workload sensor (agent or agentless)
Why this is correct
Sensors collect telemetry from workloads.
- ✓
Policy enforcement point (e.g., network enforcement)
Why this is correct
Enforcement points apply security policies to workloads.
- ✗
Cisco Umbrella DNS connector
Why it's wrong here
Umbrella is a separate product, not part of CWP.
- ✓
Centralized aggregation and analysis server
Why this is correct
Aggregation server collects data from sensors for analysis.
