350-701 Practice Question: Refer to the exhibit
Exhibit
Refer to the exhibit.
{
"policyName": "DLP-Confidential",
"rules": [
{
"condition": {
"content": {
"contains": "secret"
}
},
"action": "block"
}
]
}Refer to the exhibit. This JSON policy is part of a Cisco Cloudlock DLP configuration. What will happen when a user attempts to upload a file containing the word 'secret' to a cloud storage service?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse the 'alert' and 'block' actions in DLP policies, assuming that a content match only generates an alert without enforcement, but the exhibit explicitly shows the action is 'block', which means the upload is prevented.

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The file upload is blocked if the content contains the word 'secret'
The JSON policy shown in the exhibit is a Cisco Cloudlock DLP policy that uses a data pattern to match the word 'secret' in file content. The action specified is 'block', which means when a user attempts to upload a file containing 'secret' to a cloud storage service, the upload is blocked and an alert is generated. Option B correctly identifies that the file upload is blocked if the content contains the word 'secret', aligning with the policy's enforcement action.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown

- ✗
An alert is generated but the file is not blocked
Why it's wrong here
The action is 'block', not 'alert'.
- ✓
The file upload is blocked if the content contains the word 'secret'
Why this is correct
Condition checks for 'contains' and action is 'block'.
- ✗
Only files with 'secret' in the title are blocked
Why it's wrong here
The condition scans entire content, not just title.

All files are blocked regardless of content
Why it's wrong here
Only files containing 'secret' are blocked.
