The correct answer is B. Create an authorization profile with scanning enabled and add it to the authorization policy that. To trigger endpoint scanning after successful authentication, an authorization profile with scanning enabled must be configured and then assigned as a result in the relevant authorization policy.

Question

An administrator must enable scanning for specific endpoints when they attempt to access the network. The scanning must be triggered as a result of successful authentication. Which action accomplishes this task?

Options

  • AModify the authorization policy to send init_endpoint_scan as a result to the authenticator.
  • BCreate an authorization profile with scanning enabled and add it to the authorization policy that
  • CAdd an entry in the authentication conditions to allow only scanned endpoints access, then
  • DConfigure the endpoint scanning probe to profile the endpoint correctly and assign it a risk score.

Why each option

To trigger endpoint scanning after successful authentication, an authorization profile with scanning enabled must be configured and then assigned as a result in the relevant authorization policy.

AModify the authorization policy to send init_endpoint_scan as a result to the authenticator.

init_endpoint_scan is not a standard authorization result to be sent to an authenticator for initiating a scan directly; scanning is typically controlled via authorization profiles.

BCreate an authorization profile with scanning enabled and add it to the authorization policy thatCorrect

In Cisco ISE, endpoint scanning (e.g., posture assessment) is often initiated via an authorization profile. By creating a profile that includes scanning actions and then assigning this profile as the authorization result for specific endpoints or user groups, scanning is triggered immediately following successful authentication.

CAdd an entry in the authentication conditions to allow only scanned endpoints access, then

Adding an entry to authentication conditions to allow only scanned endpoints would prevent initial access for unscanned endpoints, which contradicts the goal of triggering scanning after successful authentication.

DConfigure the endpoint scanning probe to profile the endpoint correctly and assign it a risk score.

Configuring the endpoint scanning probe is part of the setup, but it doesn't trigger the scan itself as a result of successful authentication; the authorization policy determines when the scan is initiated.
