Question 1170
At Oceanview Payments, a team reports that it corrected the following problem affecting regulated payments and credentialed access: A trusted user suddenly generates impossible travel and anomalous login patterns across applications. Which observation BEST verifies that the correction actually worked?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The high-risk event is surfaced with identity and session evidence for response. This is the decisive evidence for the original problem: A trusted user suddenly generates impossible travel and anomalous login patterns across applications. It verifies that the intended corrective control—Use Duo Trust Monitor and risk context to investigate sign-in anomalies—works in the relevant environment; a completed change ticket alone would not prove the outcome at Oceanview Payments.
Incorrect Answers
The noncompliant device is denied while compliant authorized devices connect. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: An employee signs in from a known account but the device fails required health checks, usually addressed by Apply Duo Device Trust or health conditions before access to sensitive applications. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Oceanview Payments was resolved. The specific required evidence is: The high-risk event is surfaced with identity and session evidence for response.
A credential-phishing rehearsal cannot authorize an administrative session. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: A company relies on SMS-only second-factor authentication for a highly sensitive admin portal, usually addressed by Evaluate phishing-resistant MFA options supported by Cisco Duo and enforce appropriate policy. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Oceanview Payments was resolved. The specific required evidence is: The high-risk event is surfaced with identity and session evidence for response.
An approved group can sign in and a nonmember is denied the protected application. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: A business enables Duo single sign-on but never defines application group access conditions, usually addressed by Configure SSO with appropriate authentication and adaptive access policy per app. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Oceanview Payments was resolved. The specific required evidence is: The high-risk event is surfaced with identity and session evidence for response.
