NEW QUESTION # 86
SAML/SSO is used for:
- A. Complicating the login process
- B. Reducing security measures
- C. Simplifying user access across multiple applications
- D. Decreasing website traffic
Answer: C
NEW QUESTION # 87

NEW QUESTION # 88 

Refer to the exhibit. An engineer must configure VPN load balancing across two Cisco ASA. The indicated configuration was applied to each firewall; however, the load-balancing encryption scheme fails to work.
Which two commands must be run on each firewall to meet the requirements? (Choose two.)
- A. cluster port 9024
- B. crypto ikev1 policy 1
- C. cluster encryption
- D. hash sha-256
- E. encryption aes 256
Answer: C,E
Explanation:
To enable VPN load balancing with secure encryption between Cisco ASA firewalls, two additional commands are required:
encryption aes 256: Defines the encryption scheme used in the load balancing cluster. Without specifying encryption, secure key exchanges between devices will not occur properly.
cluster encryption: Enables encrypted communication between the clustered ASA devices. Without this command, cluster member synchronization is not securely established.
The commands shown in the exhibit correctly configure the cluster key and virtual IP but lack the necessary encryption parameters. According to Cisco's VPN load balancing implementation guides and reinforced in the SCAZT documentation, these two settings are required to secure the VPN session load distribution.

NEW QUESTION # 89
What is associated with implementing Cisco zero-trust architecture?
- A. It focuses on perimeter-based security.
- B. It verifies trust before granting access to resources.
- C. It assumes that all network traffic is trustworthy.
- D. It provides the same security as the VPN technology.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Zero Trust is based on the concept of "never trust, always verify." It ensures that no user or device is inherently trusted, even if they are inside the corporate network. Cisco's Zero Trust Architecture implements continuous trust verification for every access request, using identity, device posture, and behavior analysis.
SCAZT Section 1 (Cloud Security Architecture, Pages 13-17) describes how Cisco's Zero Trust model authenticates and authorizes access before permitting resource interaction.

NEW QUESTION # 90
Which types of algorithm does a web application firewall use for zero-day DDoS protection?
- A. Correlative and feedback-based
- B. Stochastic and event-based
- C. Adaptive and behavioral-based
- D. Reactive and heuristic-based
Answer: C
Explanation:
According to the SCAZT documentation, web application firewalls (WAFs) designed to protect against zero- day Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks leverage adaptive and behavioral-based algorithms.
These algorithms dynamically analyze traffic patterns, baseline normal behavior, and detect anomalies that could indicate novel or zero-day attacks. Unlike signature-based detection, adaptive and behavioral methods adjust in real-time to emerging threats, learning from ongoing traffic without relying on pre-defined rules.
This proactive approach enables rapid detection and mitigation of unknown DDoS vectors, critical for cloud and network security where threats evolve constantly.

NEW QUESTION # 91
Configuring SAML/SSO is beneficial because:
- A. It increases the number of passwords a user must remember
- B. It disables the need for encryption
- C. It simplifies user experience by allowing a single set of credentials for multiple services
- D. It allows users to use the same password across all systems, reducing security
Answer: C
NEW QUESTION # 92 
Refer to the exhibit. An engineer must configure a global allow list in Cisco Umbrella for the cisco.com domain. All other domains must be blocked. After creating a new policy and adding the cisco.com domain, the engineer attempts to access a site outside of cisco.com and is successful. Which additional Security Settings action must be taken to meet the requirement?
- A. Apply Destination List.
- B. Limit Content Access.
- C. Enable Allow-Only Mode
- D. Enforce SafeSearch.
Answer: C
Explanation:
When configuring Cisco Umbrella to block all traffic except to domains explicitly allowed (e.g., cisco.com), the "Allow-Only Mode" must be enabled. This setting overrides default behavior and ensures that only entries listed in the allow list are accessible-everything else is automatically blocked. According to SCAZT Section
1 (Cloud Security Architecture, Pages 16-19), enabling Allow-Only Mode is crucial for strict outbound DNS filtering.
Without this setting, the system allows access to all domains not explicitly blocked, which is why the engineer was able to access non-cisco.com domains despite defining an allow list.

NEW QUESTION # 93
What does the term "workload" refer to in the context of cloud security?
- A. The amount of data processed by the cloud
- B. The physical servers in a data center
- C. Applications and processes running in cloud environments
- D. The user's responsibility in managing cloud security
Answer: C
NEW QUESTION # 94
Cisco Secure Workload is particularly effective for:
- A. Implementing microsegmentation to protect against lateral movement
- B. Enforcing security policies dynamically based on workload behavior

- D. Ignoring changes in the threat landscape
Answer: A,B
NEW QUESTION # 95

NEW QUESTION # 102 
Refer to the exhibit. An engineer must configure Duo SSO for Cisco Webex and add the Webex application to the Duo Access Gateway. Which two actions must be taken in Duo? (Choose two.)
- A. Add a new application to the Duo platform.
- B. Import the Identity Provider metadata.
- C. Upload the application XML metadata file.
- D. Upload the SAML application JSON file.
- E. Configure the Applications settings for Cisco Webex.
Answer: A,B
Explanation:
To integrate Cisco Webex with Duo SSO using the Duo Access Gateway, the engineer must:
E: Add Cisco Webex as a new SAML application to Duo.
C: Configure the Webex application settings, including Entity ID, Assertion Consumer Service URL, and signing requirements.
Uploading XML metadata (Option A) is typically used when importing IdP settings, not for Duo application configuration. JSON (Option B) is not used in SAML-based Duo app configurations.
