350-701 Practice Question: Cisco ISE is configured to assign Security Group…
Cisco ISE is configured to assign Security Group Tags (SGTs) to endpoints based on their identity. This is part of which Cisco security architecture?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between TrustSec (which handles SGT assignment and network segmentation) and other security products like Duo or SecureX, so the trap here is confusing identity-based tagging with MFA or cloud security platforms.

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 TrustSec
Cisco TrustSec is the security architecture that uses Security Group Tags (SGTs) to enforce access control based on identity rather than IP addresses. Cisco ISE acts as the policy decision point, dynamically assigning SGTs to endpoints and distributing them via protocols like SXP or inline tagging, enabling consistent policy enforcement across the network.
