Question 460

During a firewall implementation acceptance test: An organization assumes remote access VPN credentials alone enforce device posture and application-level zero-trust conditions. Which TWO complementary choices provide the most appropriate corrective action and its direct independent verification? Select TWO answers.

  1. Define and review reusable network or host objects with scoped references and test impacted policies before edits.
  2. Assume a successful VPN login grants unlimited internal network access and automatically validates endpoint compliance.
  3. Configure supported remote access VPN or zero-trust network access policies with appropriate identity, entitlement, route and device posture checks.
  4. Review user authorization, VPN group policy, client routes, relevant posture integration and application connection results.
  5. Inspect identity source health, realm and group retrieval, mapping age, endpoint IP and the matched access event.

Explanation

Correct Answers

C:

Appropriate implementation: Configure supported remote access VPN or zero-trust network access policies with appropriate identity, entitlement, route and device posture checks. Case details: An organization assumes remote access VPN credentials alone enforce device posture and application-level zero-trust conditions. Governing behavior: Secure remote access depends on multiple independently configured authorization, endpoint and routing controls, not merely initial authentication.

D:

Direct independent How to verify: Review user authorization, VPN group policy, client routes, relevant posture integration and application connection results.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That option would define and review reusable network or host objects with scoped references and test impacted policies before edits, but it addresses a different concern. Independent evidence: Review user authorization, VPN group policy, client routes, relevant posture integration and application connection results.

B:

Unsafe or unsupported shortcut for this firewall scenario: Assume a successful VPN login grants unlimited internal network access and automatically validates endpoint compliance.

E:

That option would inspect identity source health, realm and group retrieval, mapping age, endpoint IP and the matched access event, but it addresses a different concern. Independent evidence: Review user authorization, VPN group policy, client routes, relevant posture integration and application connection results.

Question 461

A CCNP Security practice scenario presents this condition: A firewall migration enables Snort 3 but reviewers assume older Snort 2 rule tuning and performance behavior remain identical. Which security configuration or operational step BEST addresses the requirement? Select ONE best answer.

  1. Select the appropriate rule or intrusion policy action for detection versus prevention and verify by controlled flows.
  2. Assume changing Snort engine version has no possible impact on rule compatibility, detection context or operating resources.
  3. Choose supported URL and application matching with explicit TLS decryption or metadata limitations and test exception scope.
  4. Select supported Snort inspection policy and rule tuning for the deployed software, validating migration behavior with tests.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Appropriate implementation: Select supported Snort inspection policy and rule tuning for the deployed software, validating migration behavior with tests.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This alternative describes a different control, Snort rule action detect versus prevent, rather than this scenario’s Snort 3 detection pipeline and event interpretation: Select the appropriate rule or intrusion policy action for detection versus prevention and verify by controlled flows.

B:

That option would assume changing Snort engine version has no possible impact on rule compatibility, detection context or operating resources, but it addresses a different concern. Independent evidence: Inspect Snort engine version, intrusion policy, event rule information and representative test traffic before and after changes.

C:

This alternative describes a different control, URL category application and TLS policy interplay, rather than this scenario’s Snort 3 detection pipeline and event interpretation: Choose supported URL and application matching with explicit TLS decryption or metadata limitations and test exception scope.

Question 462

A firewall service owner escalates the following: A firewall migration enables Snort 3 but reviewers assume older Snort 2 rule tuning and performance behavior remain identical. Which firewall behavior or technical principle BEST explains the observed condition? Select ONE best answer.

  1. Intrusion detection events and enforced packet drops are distinct outcomes; an alert can occur without blocking a session.
  2. Multidomain management enables delegated administration, but inheritance and shared definitions can affect multiple managed areas.
  3. Snort is an intrusion detection and prevention engine; supported versions and inspectors influence normalization, rule processing and performance.
  4. Assume changing Snort engine version has no possible impact on rule compatibility, detection context or operating resources.

Question 463

An approved maintenance window surfaces this issue: A firewall migration enables Snort 3 but reviewers assume older Snort 2 rule tuning and performance behavior remain identical. Which specific evidence is MOST useful to confirm the real root cause? Select ONE best answer.

  1. Inspect DNS policy order, query events, resolver path and lookup outcomes for both blocked and approved domains.
  2. Inspect effective intrusion action, relevant event disposition, packet capture and completion or reset of a controlled test session.
  3. Inspect Snort engine version, intrusion policy, event rule information and representative test traffic before and after changes.

Acceptance criterion: The selected engine inspects intended protocols and generates consistent detections without unexpected rule loss or excessive resource use.

Question 464

A Secure Firewall deployment change request reports: A firewall migration enables Snort 3 but reviewers assume older Snort 2 rule tuning and performance behavior remain identical. Which observed result BEST confirms that the change meets the intended security requirement? Select ONE best answer.

  1. An analyst can review authorized events without modifying policies or viewing unrelated restricted infrastructure.
  2. Updated objects reflect approved networks and dependent rules continue to enforce the intended segmentation.

Question 465

An FMC policy and traffic review discovers: A firewall migration enables Snort 3 but reviewers assume older Snort 2 rule tuning and performance behavior remain identical. Which misleading assumption MOST directly causes this issue and must be rejected? Select ONE best answer.

  1. Assume changing Snort engine version has no possible impact on rule compatibility, detection context or operating resources.
  2. Assume access-control port rules alone replace network analysis and protocol normalization for intrusion detection.

  4. Assume a firewall always knows a session's Active Directory group merely from its source IPv4 address.

Explanation

A:

Reject the scenario-specific unsafe assumption: Assume changing Snort engine version has no possible impact on rule compatibility, detection context or operating resources. The stated shortcut conflicts with the intended control and its documented verification.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This alternative describes a different control, Network analysis policy protocol preprocessing, rather than this scenario’s Snort 3 detection pipeline and event interpretation: Assume access-control port rules alone replace network analysis and protocol normalization for intrusion detection.

C:
