350-701 Endpoint Protection and Detection Practice Question
Which TWO of the following are required for successful registration of an AMP for Endpoints connector with the cloud?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the misconception that inbound firewall rules are needed for cloud-based security products, but AMP for Endpoints uses a purely outbound model, so candidates mistakenly select option E thinking the cloud must 'push' data to the endpoint.
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
✓
Outbound HTTPS access to the AMP cloud backend servers.
The AMP for Endpoints connector must establish an outbound HTTPS (TCP/443) connection to the AMP cloud backend servers to communicate telemetry, receive policy updates, and perform health checks. Without this outbound access, the connector cannot register or maintain its connection to the cloud.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
A locally installed SQL database for event storage.
Why it's wrong here
AMP connectors do not require a SQL database; they send events to the cloud.
- ✗
A proxy server configured in the connector settings.
Why it's wrong here
A proxy is optional; direct internet access is sufficient.
- ✓
Outbound HTTPS access to the AMP cloud backend servers.
Why this is correct
The connector communicates with the cloud over HTTPS (port 443).
- ✓
A valid registration token obtained from the AMP console.
Why this is correct
The token is used to authenticate the connector during registration.
- ✗
An inbound firewall rule allowing connections from the AMP cloud.
Why it's wrong here
All connections are initiated by the connector outbound; no inbound rules needed.
