Question 720

During a privileged access assessment at Maple Creek Agriculture, engineers say that they resolved this finding: Developers grant Kubernetes admission permissions to every service account to simplify troubleshooting. Which result provides the STRONGEST acceptance evidence?

  1. A compromised application pod cannot modify cluster admission controls.
  2. A flagged dependency version stops promotion until the issue is addressed or approved.
  3. A known vulnerable or unsigned image is rejected before it reaches production.
  4. Unprivileged pipeline jobs cannot read production secrets and authorized deployment succeeds.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

A compromised application pod cannot modify cluster admission controls. This is the decisive evidence for the original problem: Developers grant Kubernetes admission permissions to every service account to simplify troubleshooting. It verifies that the intended corrective control—Constrain admission and orchestration RBAC by workload and task with reviewable changes—works in the relevant environment; a completed change ticket alone would not prove the outcome at Maple Creek Agriculture.

Incorrect Answers

B:

A flagged dependency version stops promotion until the issue is addressed or approved. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: A software team treats dependencies as trusted and never reviews updates before production promotion, usually addressed by Use dependency and software bill-of-materials checks with approved remediation policies. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Maple Creek Agriculture was resolved. The specific required evidence is: A compromised application pod cannot modify cluster admission controls.

C:

A known vulnerable or unsigned image is rejected before it reaches production. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: Container images are deployed without vulnerability or provenance checks from external registries, usually addressed by Enforce image scanning, signed provenance, and approved registry rules at build or admission gates. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Maple Creek Agriculture was resolved. The specific required evidence is: A compromised application pod cannot modify cluster admission controls.

D:

Unprivileged pipeline jobs cannot read production secrets and authorized deployment succeeds. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: Build pipelines store production credentials as plaintext variables visible to all developers, usually addressed by Use scoped protected secrets with short-lived workload identity and minimal pipeline permissions. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Maple Creek Agriculture was resolved. The specific required evidence is: A compromised application pod cannot modify cluster admission controls.

Question 721

At Pinecrest Research, during a scheduled security controls review, the security team is examining research data and distributed collaboration. The finding is: A branch company wants cloud-delivered secure web filtering and private application access without a traditional perimeter VPN for every app. Which action BEST addresses this specific security issue?

  1. Use cloud-delivered SSE controls with policy applied close to users while retaining governance.
  2. Evaluate SSE for cloud-delivered security controls and add WAN functions only when a SASE design requires them.
  3. Distinguish SD-WAN networking from SSE inspection and identity-centric policy in a full SASE design.
  4. Maintain appropriate data-center and workload controls alongside cloud-delivered user security.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Evaluate SSE for cloud-delivered security controls and add WAN functions only when a SASE design requires them. This directly addresses the documented failure: A branch company wants cloud-delivered secure web filtering and private application access without a traditional perimeter VPN for every app. For the Pinecrest Research environment, the measurable success condition is: The design identifies SSE services separately from SD-WAN transport and limits access per user and app. This control targets the specific failure rather than merely changing an unrelated security setting.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Use cloud-delivered SSE controls with policy applied close to users while retaining governance. That action fits another problem: A remote workforce hairpins every SaaS session through one data center and experiences high delay with inconsistent filtering. It does not directly remediate the current finding at Pinecrest Research: A branch company wants cloud-delivered secure web filtering and private application access without a traditional perimeter VPN for every app. The relevant corrective control for this case is: Evaluate SSE for cloud-delivered security controls and add WAN functions only when a SASE design requires them.

C:

Distinguish SD-WAN networking from SSE inspection and identity-centric policy in a full SASE design. That action fits another problem: An architecture proposal labels an SD-WAN routing feature alone as a complete secure access service edge deployment. It does not directly remediate the current finding at Pinecrest Research: A branch company wants cloud-delivered secure web filtering and private application access without a traditional perimeter VPN for every app. The relevant corrective control for this case is: Evaluate SSE for cloud-delivered security controls and add WAN functions only when a SASE design requires them.

D:

Maintain appropriate data-center and workload controls alongside cloud-delivered user security. That action fits another problem: A team plans to replace all network firewalls with SSE and assumes internal east-west workload traffic is automatically protected. It does not directly remediate the current finding at Pinecrest Research: A branch company wants cloud-delivered secure web filtering and private application access without a traditional perimeter VPN for every app. The relevant corrective control for this case is: Evaluate SSE for cloud-delivered security controls and add WAN functions only when a SASE design requires them.

Question 722

At Pinecrest Research, a team reports that it corrected the following problem affecting research data and distributed collaboration: A branch company wants cloud-delivered secure web filtering and private application access without a traditional perimeter VPN for every app. Which observation BEST verifies that the correction actually worked?

  1. Test traffic shows SSE governs assigned user flows while separate internal segmentation remains enforced.
  2. The design identifies SSE services separately from SD-WAN transport and limits access per user and app.
  3. User tests show consistent security enforcement and improved path latency versus the hairpin baseline.
  4. The design review lists required WAN and cloud security components with accountable owners.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The design identifies SSE services separately from SD-WAN transport and limits access per user and app. This is the decisive evidence for the original problem: A branch company wants cloud-delivered secure web filtering and private application access without a traditional perimeter VPN for every app. It verifies that the intended corrective control—Evaluate SSE for cloud-delivered security controls and add WAN functions only when a SASE design requires them—works in the relevant environment; a completed change ticket alone would not prove the outcome at Pinecrest Research.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The specific required evidence is: The design identifies SSE services separately from SD-WAN transport and limits access per user and app.

D:

The design review lists required WAN and cloud security components with accountable owners. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: An architecture proposal labels an SD-WAN routing feature alone as a complete secure access service edge deployment, usually addressed by Distinguish SD-WAN networking from SSE inspection and identity-centric policy in a full SASE design. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Pinecrest Research was resolved. The specific required evidence is: The design identifies SSE services separately from SD-WAN transport and limits access per user and app.

This directly addresses the documented failure: A branch company wants cloud-delivered secure web filtering and private application access without a traditional perimeter VPN for every app. For the Briarwood Property Group environment, the measurable success condition is: The design identifies SSE services separately from SD-WAN transport and limits access per user and app. This control targets the specific failure rather than merely changing an unrelated security setting.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Map service edge inspection, identity, and private application access separately from local access networking. That action fits another problem: A mobile-user security design assumes an SSE service is equivalent to a complete on-premises campus switch network. It does not directly remediate the current finding at Briarwood Property Group: A branch company wants cloud-delivered secure web filtering and private application access without a traditional perimeter VPN for every app. The relevant corrective control for this case is: Evaluate SSE for cloud-delivered security controls and add WAN functions only when a SASE design requires them.

B:
