Question 770
At Elmwood Manufacturing, a team reports that it corrected the following problem affecting industrial analytics and business systems: A company grants remote workers access to an entire RFC1918 network when they need only a payroll web application. Which observation BEST verifies that the correction actually worked?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The employee opens payroll but scans of unrelated private subnets are unsuccessful. This is the decisive evidence for the original problem: A company grants remote workers access to an entire RFC1918 network when they need only a payroll web application. It verifies that the intended corrective control—Configure Cisco Secure Access Secure Private Access at the specific authorized application boundary—works in the relevant environment; a completed change ticket alone would not prove the outcome at Elmwood Manufacturing.
Incorrect Answers
A managed compliant endpoint connects and an unmanaged endpoint is rejected. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: Users can access a private app from unmanaged devices despite a policy requiring device trust, usually addressed by Add supported posture and identity conditions to Secure Private Access authorization. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Elmwood Manufacturing was resolved. The specific required evidence is: The employee opens payroll but scans of unrelated private subnets are unsuccessful.
A simulated connector failure leaves the private application reachable via another healthy path. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: A private application is published through a connector without failover consideration and maintenance causes outages, usually addressed by Deploy connector redundancy appropriate to availability needs and monitor connector state. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Elmwood Manufacturing was resolved. The specific required evidence is: The employee opens payroll but scans of unrelated private subnets are unsuccessful.
External scanning cannot reach the origin directly while permitted users authenticate through secure access. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: A company exposes an internal application directly to the Internet instead of using identity-aware private access, usually addressed by Use an approved Secure Private Access publishing model that avoids unnecessary public inbound exposure. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Elmwood Manufacturing was resolved. The specific required evidence is: The employee opens payroll but scans of unrelated private subnets are unsuccessful.
