300-740 Exam Dumps : Designing and Implementing Secure Cloud Access for Users and Endpoints (SCAZT)

From the firewall access rules provided, Rule 1 allows traffic from 20.1.1.10 (GCP VM) to 20.1.1.1 using HTTPS. However, this destination is not the actual mail server—the mail server resides at 192.168.200.10 (inside network). Therefore:

A: Rule 1 must be updated to reflect the correct destination: 192.168.200.10. Without this change, traffic is not permitted to the mail server.

D: NAT (Network Address Translation) is needed to translate the external address (e.g., 20.1.1.10) to access internal addresses (like 192.168.200.10). As per SCAZT and Cisco firewall policies, NAT enables proper packet delivery from public to private zones.

Rule 2, which denies all other traffic, is correctly placed after the specific allow rule. Therefore, moving it (Option B) would not help, and Options C and E are unrelated to resolving the immediate firewall access and routing issue.

In IKEv1 policy configuration for Cisco ASA, two key commands are required to define the encryption and hashing algorithms:

A: encryption aes-256 defines the encryption method for the IKE SA.

E: hash sha-256 ensures SHA-256 is used as the integrity mechanism during IKE phase 1.

According to Cisco documentation and SCAZT (Section 1: Cloud Security Architecture, Pages 19–22), these two components are essential to negotiating a secure VPN tunnel. The provided config uses group 1 (modp768), which is weak by today’s standards and could also lead to negotiation failure. However, from the available options, encryption and hash are the two required for tunnel success.

The SCAZT documentation emphasizes that when Cisco Secure XDR identifies a high-risk threat (e.g., risk score 8 out of 10 for malware distribution, as shown in the exhibit), the first priority is to prevent lateral movement and data exfiltration. The recommended first response action is to isolate the affected endpoint from the network.

Cisco Secure Endpoint and XDR allow you to trigger an "isolate" response directly from the dashboard, cutting off all non-management communication from the compromised device. This preserves the environment and enables forensic analysis before removing malware or taking destructive actions like rebuilding the system.
