The answer is sensors, cloud connector, and setup of global enforcement scopes. Sensors are the foundational prerequisite because Cisco Tetration (Secure Workload) uses an agent-based architecture where each workload must run a sensor to collect granular telemetry—process, network, and flow data—without which workload discovery and micro-segmentation policy enforcement are impossible. The cloud connector is equally essential for hybrid environments, as it bridges on-premises and cloud workloads, enabling consistent visibility and policy application across both domains. Finally, global enforcement scopes must be configured to define which workloads are subject to policy enforcement, acting as the logical boundary for Tetration’s actions. On the Cisco SCOR 350-701 exam, this question tests your understanding of Tetration’s deployment prerequisites, often appearing as a “choose three” item where a common trap is selecting “firewall rules” instead of enforcement scopes. Memory tip: think “S-C-E” for Sensors, Cloud connector, Enforcement scopes—the three pillars that unlock workload discovery and policy enforcement.
350-701 Cloud Security Practice Question
This 350-701 practice question tests your understanding of cloud security. The scenario asks you to isolate a root cause — eliminate options that address a different problem before choosing. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
A cloud security team is deploying Cisco Tetration (Secure Workload) in a hybrid cloud environment. Which three are prerequisites for workload discovery and policy enforcement? (Choose three.)
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Deployment of sensors on all workloads
B is correct because Cisco Tetration (Secure Workload) relies on sensors installed on each workload to collect granular telemetry, including process, network, and flow data. Without sensors, the platform cannot discover workload dependencies or enforce micro-segmentation policies, as sensors are the primary data source for the agent-based architecture.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
✗
Configuration of flow export from network devices
Why it's wrong here
Tetration uses its own sensors; flow export is redundant and not required.
✓
Deployment of sensors on all workloads
Why this is correct
Sensors collect flow and process data needed for discovery and enforcement.

✓
Integration with cloud provider APIs
Why this is correct
API integration enriches workload identity with cloud metadata for accurate policy.

✓
Setup of global enforcement scopes
Why this is correct
Enforcement scopes define which workloads are subject to policy enforcement.

✗
Registration with Cisco Smart Licensing
Why it's wrong here
Smart Licensing is required for licensing compliance but not a technical prerequisite for discovery/enforcement.
Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
Cisco often tests the misconception that flow export from network devices is a core requirement for Tetration, but the platform's sensor-based architecture makes workload-level telemetry the mandatory foundation, with network device exports being optional and supplementary.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
Tetration sensors use a kernel module to capture all network flows, process information, and metadata at the workload level, enabling a zero-trust model without relying on network infrastructure. In a hybrid cloud, sensors must be deployed on both on-premises VMs and cloud instances, and integration with cloud provider APIs (Option C) is necessary to automatically discover and tag workloads, while global enforcement scopes (Option D) define the boundaries for policy application, ensuring consistent enforcement across the hybrid environment.
KKey Concepts to Remember

Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
TExam Day Tips
→Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
→Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A practitioner preparing for the 350-701 exam encounters this exact type of scenario on the job. The correct answer here is not the most general option — it is the best answer for the specific constraint described. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Real exam questions reward reading the full scenario before eliminating options, because the constraint defines which answer fits.
