Question 780
During a security incident tabletop exercise at Vantage Travel, engineers say that they resolved this finding: Contractors are assigned to a group that inadvertently grants access to private financial databases. Which result provides the STRONGEST acceptance evidence?
Explanation
Correct Answer
A contractor reaches the assigned portal but cannot access financial database endpoints. This is the decisive evidence for the original problem: Contractors are assigned to a group that inadvertently grants access to private financial databases. It verifies that the intended corrective control—Limit Secure Private Access policy to approved groups, apps, and contextual conditions—works in the relevant environment; a completed change ticket alone would not prove the outcome at Vantage Travel.
Incorrect Answers
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 Vantage Travel was resolved. The specific required evidence is: A contractor reaches the assigned portal but cannot access financial database endpoints.
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 Vantage Travel was resolved. The specific required evidence is: A contractor reaches the assigned portal but cannot access financial database endpoints.
An authorized test user reaches the intended app while an unauthorized identity is denied. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: A private application connector has been registered but a user cannot reach the internal app, usually addressed by Check connector health, application definition, DNS, and identity policy before broadening access. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Vantage Travel was resolved. The specific required evidence is: A contractor reaches the assigned portal but cannot access financial database endpoints.
