Question 460
An operations group at a manufacturing plant resolved: An SOC intends to use a library-provided snippet but assumes selecting it in the library automatically pushes the new config. Which ongoing safeguard should become part of its change process?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Include library version and deployment verification for predefined snippets. This control reduces recurrence of the documented mechanism: Opting into a predefined snippet, associating it and pushing are distinct actions. It creates a repeatable check around the needed response: Opt into the supported snippet, associate it to intended targets and perform an authorized configuration push.
Incorrect Answers
Track snippet owners and references before decommissioning shared config. That safeguard addresses another potential failure: An administrator removes an unused snippet from their active view but it remains associated with a device, so deleting it is blocked. It is not the most targeted recurring control for the described cause: Opting into a predefined snippet, associating it and pushing are distinct actions.
Run resolved-object checks for overlapping security snippets. That safeguard addresses another potential failure: A device inherits an approved URL Filtering snippet but a locally associated snippet of higher priority replaces its category action with alert-only. It is not the most targeted recurring control for the described cause: Opting into a predefined snippet, associating it and pushing are distinct actions.
Use canonical snippet IDs and checksums in configuration inventories. That safeguard addresses another potential failure: A configuration review finds the same named policy snippet in two folders but one is a local clone with different enforcement behavior. It is not the most targeted recurring control for the described cause: Opting into a predefined snippet, associating it and pushing are distinct actions.
