Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Disable SSL decryption for all SaaS traffic to improve performance.

    Why it's wrong here

    Disabling decryption prevents the firewall from identifying the application.

  • Enable Application Filtering policies using the cloud-delivered feed.

    Why this is correct

    Cisco's application database updates via cloud feeds to ensure SaaS visibility.

  • Install local agents on every endpoint.

    Why it's wrong here

    Agents are for Secure Endpoint, not firewall SaaS visibility.

  • Configure static IP-based rules for every SaaS provider.

    Why it's wrong here

    SaaS IP ranges change frequently, making this impossible to maintain.
