350-701 Practice Question: Which TWO Cisco solutions provide virtual…
Which TWO Cisco solutions provide virtual firewall capabilities in public cloud environments? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between cloud-delivered security services (like Umbrella) and virtualized network security appliances (like ASAv/FTDv), causing candidates to mistakenly select Umbrella as a virtual firewall when it is actually a cloud-based security service.

Cisco ASAv (Adaptive Security Virtual Appliance) is a virtualized version of the Cisco ASA firewall that can be deployed in public cloud environments such as AWS, Azure, and GCP.
