SCAZT Application And Data Security Practice Question
You are configuring a Cisco Cloudlock policy to detect sensitive PII in a Salesforce instance. Which configuration step ensures that the policy specifically triggers when sensitive data is uploaded to a public-facing object?
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
✓
Enable the PII inspection engine and set the exposure filter to 'Public'.
Cisco Cloudlock allows scoping of policies to specific application objects and exposure levels. Selecting the 'Public' exposure flag ensures that only data accessible to unauthorized external users triggers the alert.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Configure an API-based firewall rule to block all inbound traffic from Salesforce.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. API-based security does not involve blocking inbound traffic at the firewall level.
- ✗
Apply a global blocklist for all Salesforce users.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. This would disrupt legitimate business operations and does not address the data exposure level.
- ✗
Set the policy scan interval to 'Real-time' and enable TLS decryption.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Real-time scanning is not a configuration field for exposure filtering, and TLS decryption is not applicable to SaaS API interactions.
- ✓
Enable the PII inspection engine and set the exposure filter to 'Public'.
Why this is correct
Correct. The exposure filter is the mechanism used to restrict policy enforcement to publicly accessible data.
