Question 730
At Seabright Municipal Works, a team reports that it corrected the following problem affecting public service networks and records: A remote workforce hairpins every SaaS session through one data center and experiences high delay with inconsistent filtering. Which observation BEST verifies that the correction actually worked?
Explanation
Correct Answer
User tests show consistent security enforcement and improved path latency versus the hairpin baseline. This is the decisive evidence for the original problem: A remote workforce hairpins every SaaS session through one data center and experiences high delay with inconsistent filtering. It verifies that the intended corrective control—Use cloud-delivered SSE controls with policy applied close to users while retaining governance—works in the relevant environment; a completed change ticket alone would not prove the outcome at Seabright Municipal Works.
Incorrect Answers
A gap review correctly assigns network access enforcement and remote cloud inspection to distinct layers. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: A mobile-user security design assumes an SSE service is equivalent to a complete on-premises campus switch network, usually addressed by Map service edge inspection, identity, and private application access separately from local access networking. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Seabright Municipal Works was resolved. The specific required evidence is: User tests show consistent security enforcement and improved path latency versus the hairpin baseline.
Test traffic shows SSE governs assigned user flows while separate internal segmentation remains enforced. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: A team plans to replace all network firewalls with SSE and assumes internal east-west workload traffic is automatically protected, usually addressed by Maintain appropriate data-center and workload controls alongside cloud-delivered user security. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Seabright Municipal Works was resolved. The specific required evidence is: User tests show consistent security enforcement and improved path latency versus the hairpin baseline.
An untrusted web destination is blocked and permitted SaaS use follows tenant policy. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: A distributed enterprise uses identity checks for SaaS but has no control for direct Internet destinations or downloads, usually addressed by Include appropriate secure web gateway and data protection capabilities in the SSE design. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Seabright Municipal Works was resolved. The specific required evidence is: User tests show consistent security enforcement and improved path latency versus the hairpin baseline.
