What the exam tests

What to know about Network And Cloud Security

Cloud concepts questions usually test the service model (IaaS/PaaS/SaaS) and deployment model (public/private/hybrid/community) appropriate for a given scenario.

IaaS, PaaS and SaaS responsibilities and examples.

Public, private, hybrid and community cloud deployment models.

On-premises vs cloud trade-offs: cost, control, scalability.

How cloud connectivity options (VPN, Direct Connect, ExpressRoute) work.

Watch out for

Common Network And Cloud Security exam traps

▸IaaS gives you infrastructure control; SaaS gives you only the application.
▸Hybrid cloud combines on-premises and public cloud — not two public clouds.
▸Cloud does not automatically mean cheaper or more secure.
▸Management responsibility shifts with each service model (IaaS → PaaS → SaaS).

Question 1mediummultiple choice

Review the full routing breakdown →

You need to ensure that all web traffic from a branch office is inspected by the Umbrella SIG. Which configuration step is mandatory on your perimeter router?

Trap 1: Install the Roaming Client on the router

The Roaming Client is for endpoints, not network devices.

Trap 2: Define an ACL to permit all traffic to Umbrella

An ACL alone does not redirect traffic without PBR.

Trap 3: Enable DNS-over-HTTPS on the router

This does not redirect web traffic.

A
Install the Roaming Client on the router
Why wrong: The Roaming Client is for endpoints, not network devices.
B
Create a PBR (Policy Based Routing) to direct traffic to the tunnel
PBR is used to divert specific traffic into the tunnel interface.
C
Define an ACL to permit all traffic to Umbrella
Why wrong: An ACL alone does not redirect traffic without PBR.
D
Enable DNS-over-HTTPS on the router
Why wrong: This does not redirect web traffic.
