Enforce appropriate Cisco Duo MFA and device trust checks for protected applications, considering user role and device security status. This response applies to Cisco Duo multifactor and device trust policy, not the controlling requirement in this case. Multifactor authentication strengthens login assurance, while device trust and adaptive controls independently evaluate session risk. For this scenario, the targeted action is: Use Cisco Duo SSO and Adaptive Access to apply policy based on user group, application sensitivity, location or risk, and device health where supported. Situation: A bank requires stricter verification for administrator actions than for opening a non-sensitive team calendar.

Identify suspicious DNS-based data movement using query entropy, length, volume, domain ownership, and endpoint context before containment. This response applies to DNS tunneling exfiltration detection, not the controlling requirement in this case. DNS is a name-resolution protocol but can carry encoded data in labels or answers; unusual queries require contextual analysis to avoid false positives. For this scenario, the targeted action is: Use Cisco Duo SSO and Adaptive Access to apply policy based on user group, application sensitivity, location or risk, and device health where supported. Situation: A bank requires stricter verification for administrator actions than for opening a non-sensitive team calendar.

Separate employee, guest, and personally owned device onboarding through Cisco ISE identity and authorization policies matched to legitimate use. This response applies to Cisco ISE guest and BYOD identity policies, not the controlling requirement in this case. Guest access and BYOD onboarding are authorization workflows, not a grant of permanent trusted access merely because a device connects to Wi-Fi. For this scenario, the targeted action is: Use Cisco Duo SSO and Adaptive Access to apply policy based on user group, application sensitivity, location or risk, and device health where supported. Situation: A bank requires stricter verification for administrator actions than for opening a non-sensitive team calendar.

Apply access-port security, storm thresholds, and BPDU safeguards according to host role to limit CAM abuse and accidental switching loops. This response applies to Layer 2 port hardening and storm control, not the controlling requirement in this case. Port security limits learned MAC identities and BPDU guard helps protect intended edge ports; storm control limits damaging broadcast or multicast spikes. For this scenario, the targeted action is: Place appropriate firewall or distributed policy enforcement around both internet-facing flows and lateral workload communications. Situation: A compromised web server scans database servers on the same flat subnet without traversing perimeter controls.

Use SNMPv3 with authentication and privacy where appropriate and restrict agents to approved management sources and read views. This response applies to SNMPv3 authenticated encrypted polling, not the controlling requirement in this case. SNMPv3 supports integrity and encryption for management queries when authPriv is configured; SNMPv1 community strings do not provide equivalent protection. For this scenario, the targeted action is: Place appropriate firewall or distributed policy enforcement around both internet-facing flows and lateral workload communications. Situation: A compromised web server scans database servers on the same flat subnet without traversing perimeter controls.

Protect programmable device management with authenticated endpoints, transport encryption, role authorization, and change transaction logging. This response applies to NETCONF RESTCONF and API management security, not the controlling requirement in this case. Programmable interfaces are management planes with security obligations comparable to CLI access; enabling RESTCONF does not itself validate an automation request. For this scenario, the targeted action is: Use Dynamic ARP Inspection with reliable IP-to-MAC bindings to reject forged ARP claims on untrusted access interfaces. Situation: A workstation announces itself as the default router and redirects neighboring users through its network card.

Trace FTD VPN encryption/decryption counters, routes, NAT exemptions, and ACL matching when IKE is up but applications fail.

Situation: A pipeline deploys a public image by mutable latest tag with no digest pinning or vulnerability assessment.

Separate employee, guest, and personally owned device onboarding through Cisco ISE identity and authorization policies matched to legitimate use. This response applies to Cisco ISE guest and BYOD identity policies, not the controlling requirement in this case. Guest access and BYOD onboarding are authorization workflows, not a grant of permanent trusted access merely because a device connects to Wi-Fi. For this scenario, the targeted action is: Use RADIUS Change of Authorization to trigger reauthentication or update access on an active network session when identity or posture changes. Situation: An ISE dashboard shows CoA requests with no effect because the switch rejects dynamic authorization packets.

Trace failed Cisco ISE CoA requests through dynamic authorization configuration, source identity, shared secret, session selection, and device support. This response applies to CoA failure and authorization policy debugging, not the controlling requirement in this case. A policy rule update does not retroactively rewrite an existing session without a supported reauthorization mechanism and a successful CoA exchange. For this scenario, the targeted action is: Use RADIUS Change of Authorization to trigger reauthentication or update access on an active network session when identity or posture changes. Situation: An ISE dashboard shows CoA requests with no effect because the switch rejects dynamic authorization packets.

Enforce network access requirements for device OS, required security controls, and application compliance, with remediation for failures. This response applies to Endpoint application compliance and risk-based access, not the controlling requirement in this case. Device compliance is an ongoing assessment, not a once-per-device trust label; application control and identity must be combined for effective access. For this scenario, the targeted action is: Use RADIUS Change of Authorization to trigger reauthentication or update access on an active network session when identity or posture changes. Situation: An ISE dashboard shows CoA requests with no effect because the switch rejects dynamic authorization packets.
