A deliberately public data service or embedded secret is rejected in CI before a production resource is created. This outcome tests Infrastructure as Code security gate and is not sufficient proof of the stated requirement.

This response applies to Router control plane and management isolation, not the controlling requirement in this case. A network device has distinct control, data, and management planes; each requires separate scoped protection. For this scenario, the targeted action is: Apply application-aware restrictions and appropriate URL categories to FTD policies while checking TLS and application identification limits. Situation: A hospital allows clinical domains but an overbroad URL category exception also permits personal file-sharing websites.

Implement Cisco Secure Firewall access control policy with explicit zone, address, application, and rule-order scope, logging decisions at relevant boundaries. This response applies to FTD access control rule ordering, not the controlling requirement in this case. Access control rules are evaluated according to platform policy order and conditions; an overly broad early allow can shadow later restrictions. For this scenario, the targeted action is: Apply application-aware restrictions and appropriate URL categories to FTD policies while checking TLS and application identification limits.
