Which is a Cisco recommended driver for network security?

Question

Options

• AOffer a threat-foe used security solution
• BProvide automated impact assessment
• CFocus on point products
• DAssign central, role-based management

• A
  90% (36)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  5% (2)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Option A is correct because Cisco's security architecture centers on a threat-focused model - meaning security solutions should be designed to detect, prevent, and respond to actual threats rather than being compliance-driven or product-centric. This is a core tenet of Cisco's security philosophy, prioritizing real-world adversary behavior over checkbox security.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (Automated impact assessment) is a useful feature within a security solution, but it's a capability, not a foundational driver Cisco recommends building a security strategy around.
• C (Focus on point products) is actually the opposite of Cisco's recommendation - Cisco explicitly advocates for integrated security platforms over siloed, single-purpose point products.
• D (Central, role-based management) describes a management best practice and is not one of Cisco's primary security drivers, though it may be a component of a broader solution.

Memory tip: Think of Cisco's mantra as "threat first, not product first." If an answer steers toward isolated tools or administrative functions rather than threat orientation, eliminate it. The word "threat" in option A is your signal - Cisco's recommended drivers always start with the adversary in mind.
