SDSI Secure Infrastructure Design Practice Question

You are designing security for a multi-cloud environment. Which feature in Cisco Secure Firewall allows for automated policy deployment based on cloud tags?

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

Dynamic Object Groups.

Cisco Secure Firewall uses cloud-based tags to dynamically apply security group policies, ensuring that as instances scale, the policy follows them.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

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

  • Static IP-based Access Control Lists.

    Why it's wrong here

    Static ACLs cannot adapt to cloud tag changes.

  • VLAN tagging.

    Why it's wrong here

    VLAN tagging is not supported in most cloud-native environments.

  • Dynamic Object Groups.

    Why this is correct

    Dynamic objects in Secure Firewall can be mapped to cloud tags.

  • Network Interface Virtualization.

    Why it's wrong here

    This is a hardware/hypervisor feature, not a policy-based security feature.
