350-701 Endpoint Protection and Detection Practice Question
Which THREE of the following are valid methods to deploy Cisco AMP for Endpoints Connector on Windows endpoints?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between network management tools (Prime Infrastructure, DNA Center) and endpoint deployment tools (Group Policy, SCCM, manual installation), expecting candidates to recognize that AMP for Endpoints is an endpoint security product deployed via standard Windows software distribution methods, not via Cisco's network infrastructure platforms.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Group Policy Software Installation (MSI)
Group Policy Software Installation (MSI) is a valid deployment method for Cisco AMP for Endpoints Connector on Windows endpoints because it allows administrators to distribute the AMP connector MSI package via Active Directory Group Policy Objects (GPOs). This method leverages Windows Installer technology for silent, automated installation across domain-joined machines, ensuring consistent deployment without user interaction.
