A recent InfraGard news release indicates the need to establish a risk ranking for all on-premises and cloud services. The ACME Corporation already performs risk assessments for on-premises services…

Question

Options

• ASecure Internet Gateway
• BDomain Name Server Filtering
• CURL Categorization by Talos
• DApp Discovery

• A
  18% (4)
• B
  9% (2)
• C
  5% (1)
• D
  68% (15)

Explanation

App Discovery is correct because it is Cisco Umbrella's feature specifically designed to identify all cloud applications in use across an organization and automatically assign each a risk ranking - directly addressing the gap of unranked cloud services described in the scenario.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A. Secure Internet Gateway (SIG) is Umbrella's broad architectural category (the overall product), not a discrete function that performs risk ranking of cloud apps.
• B. DNS Filtering blocks malicious domains at the DNS layer; it enforces policy but does not generate risk rankings for cloud services.
• C. URL Categorization by Talos classifies URLs into content categories (news, gambling, malware, etc.) for filtering - it doesn't produce risk scores for specific cloud/SaaS applications.

Memory tip: Think "App Discovery = discover which cloud apps your org uses and rank their risk." The word "Discovery" signals reconnaissance/visibility into unknown cloud usage - exactly what's needed when cloud services lack rankings.
