Which key is needed to pair a Cisco WSA and Cisco ScanCenter for CTA?

Question

Options

• Apublic SSH key that the Cisco WSA generates
• Bpublic SSH key that Cisco ScanCenter generates
• Cprivate SSH key that Cisco ScanCenter generates
• Dprivate SSH key that the Cisco WSA generates

• A
  86% (44)
• B
  8% (4)
• C
  4% (2)
• D
  2% (1)

Explanation

To integrate a Cisco WSA with Cisco ScanCenter for Cognitive Threat Analytics (CTA), the pairing process uses SSH key-based authentication. The Cisco WSA generates a public SSH key pair and presents its public SSH key (A) to the administrator. This public key is then registered with Cisco ScanCenter to establish a trusted, authenticated connection. Using the public key-rather than the private key-follows standard asymmetric cryptography practice: the public key is shared with the remote service (ScanCenter) while the private key remains on the WSA and is never transmitted. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because ScanCenter does not generate keys to send to the WSA in this workflow.
