350-701 Practice Question: Which TWO methods can be used to enforce least…
Which TWO methods can be used to enforce least privilege within a network infrastructure? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the misconception that NAT or VLAN segmentation alone enforces least privilege, when in fact they lack identity-based or role-based access control required for true least privilege.
Answer choices
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
✓
Use Cisco TrustSec with SGTs and security group policies.
Cisco TrustSec uses Security Group Tags (SGTs) to classify traffic based on user or device identity, not just IP addresses. Security group policies then enforce least privilege by allowing or denying communication between SGTs, ensuring that only necessary traffic flows between endpoints.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Use Cisco TrustSec with SGTs and security group policies.
Why this is correct
SGTs enforce access based on group membership.
- ✗
Use a single administrator account with full privileges for all IT staff.
Why it's wrong here
Violates least privilege by granting too much access.
- ✗
Place all users in the same VLAN without ACLs.
Why it's wrong here
Provides no access control.
- ✗
Configure source NAT on the firewall to hide internal addresses.
Why it's wrong here
NAT is not an access control method.
- ✓
Implement role-based access control (RBAC) on network devices.
Why this is correct
RBAC restricts commands based on role.
