SCAZT Cloud Security Architecture Practice Question
An organization is deploying Cisco Umbrella SIG to enforce Zero Trust access. You must configure the selective decryption policy. Which setting ensures that specific sensitive traffic, such as financial and healthcare sites, is bypassed for inspection to comply with privacy regulations?
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
✓
Configure a Web Policy rule with a 'Decrypt' action and specify the sensitive categories in the 'Bypass' list.
Within the Cisco Umbrella dashboard, the SSL Decryption policy allows administrators to define bypass lists for specific categories or domains to prevent sensitive traffic from being decrypted.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Apply a 'Transparent Proxy' setting on the local Cisco ASA firewall.
Why it's wrong here
This is a hardware-based configuration, not a cloud-native Umbrella SIG setting.
- ✓
Configure a Web Policy rule with a 'Decrypt' action and specify the sensitive categories in the 'Bypass' list.
Why this is correct
This is the correct procedural step in Umbrella to exclude traffic from inspection.
- ✗
Enable 'HTTPS Inspection' in the Cloud Security global settings and select 'Bypass All' for all categories.
Why it's wrong here
This is a global setting and does not allow granular category-based bypass.
- ✗
Set the 'Block' action for sensitive categories in the Destination Lists.
Why it's wrong here
Blocking does not decrypt traffic; it drops the connection.
