For this scenario, the targeted action is: Use Cisco Multicloud Defense concepts to define controlled ingress, egress, and workload traffic inspection across supported cloud networks. Situation: Two cloud VPCs exchange database traffic over an uninspected peering link while administrators assume inspection is automatic.
