Question 940
During an application modernization project at Lakeview Insurance, engineers say that they resolved this finding: A remote-user client supports multiple protective modules but unnecessary modules request privileges without business purpose. Which result provides the STRONGEST acceptance evidence?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Client inventory shows the selected modules without unrelated high-impact permissions. This is the decisive evidence for the original problem: A remote-user client supports multiple protective modules but unnecessary modules request privileges without business purpose. It verifies that the intended corrective control—Apply least-privilege installation and verify the functions required by endpoint policy—works in the relevant environment; a completed change ticket alone would not prove the outcome at Lakeview Insurance.
Incorrect Answers
The analyst identifies other affected endpoints and the file's execution timeline. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: An endpoint threat investigation has a file hash but cannot determine whether the file ran elsewhere, usually addressed by Correlate Cisco Secure Endpoint file trajectory and related event metadata across enrolled hosts. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Lakeview Insurance was resolved. The specific required evidence is: Client inventory shows the selected modules without unrelated high-impact permissions.
The analysis report identifies relevant behavior without exposing production systems. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: A suspicious executable evades basic scanning and analysts need behavioral analysis in an isolated environment, usually addressed by Submit approved sample to Cisco Secure Malware Analytics or equivalent sandbox analysis. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Lakeview Insurance was resolved. The specific required evidence is: Client inventory shows the selected modules without unrelated high-impact permissions.
Devices reconnect with current supported modules and failed updates generate alerts. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: A branch fleet has a client deployment but security module updates stop when devices are off site, usually addressed by Manage client update health and deployment policies with remote endpoint coverage monitoring. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Lakeview Insurance was resolved. The specific required evidence is: Client inventory shows the selected modules without unrelated high-impact permissions.
