Cisco 350-201 Practice Test 41
Question 400
For an original CBRCOR educational scenario, consider: A laptop user prints confidential design documents and the organization relies solely on blocking outbound SMTP attachments. Select THREE compatible elements: a proper correction, a targeted diagnostic and an acceptance result.
- Change: Add endpoint DLP or device-control monitoring at the actual local copy and print pathways, consistent with classification policy.
- Result: Unauthorized paths are denied and each crucial control action leaves sufficient forensic evidence.
- Result: Restricted local transfers are blocked or appropriately audited while approved business use remains possible.
- Check: Reproduce authorized and restricted USB and print operations with test documents and inspect enforcement events.
- Change: Recalibrate baseline windows, validate performance by asset group and monitor concept drift before expanding automated alert use.
- Check: Test allowed admin hosts and denied guest sources for SSH, HTTPS, SNMP and relevant control-plane protections.

Question 401
A SOC analyst is examining this cybersecurity operations situation: A user shares a confidential collaboration document using an anonymous public link that bypasses the organization's email gateway. A proposed shortcut is: Disable attachment scanning and assume employee warnings are sufficient to prevent public SaaS file sharing. What should the SOC analyst recommend as the narrowly scoped correction? Select ONE best answer.
- Reconcile authoritative asset inventory, ownership, supported vulnerability scanning, configuration and sensor coverage before assigning posture.
- Evaluate behavioral baselines with device, identity, network and business context before deciding whether anomalies indicate misuse.
- Disable attachment scanning and assume employee warnings are sufficient to prevent public SaaS file sharing.
- Apply cloud and application DLP policies to sharing permissions, sensitive-content detection and sanctioned app activity.
Explanation

Question 402
A Cisco cybersecurity incident response review finds: A user shares a confidential collaboration document using an anonymous public link that bypasses the organization's email gateway. The team proposes: Apply cloud and application DLP policies to sharing permissions, sensitive-content detection and sanctioned app activity. Which engineering principle most strongly supports the recommended response? Select ONE best answer.
- AI can prioritize likely relationships but indicator matching and attribution require independently corroborated evidence.
- Hardening guidance is platform and workload specific; a relevant benchmark needs a tested applicability and exception review.
- Cloud data loss can occur through application links and APIs even when network perimeter monitoring sees no email attachment.
- Tuning should reduce unhelpful alerts without suppressing essential attack patterns or expanding policy exceptions beyond their cause.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:Relevant validation before approval: Test public versus restricted sharing, sensitivity labels, audit events and approved exceptions in a representative SaaS workspace. Demonstrable success requires: Sensitive documents cannot be anonymously distributed while authorized collaboration remains intact.
