Which Cisco solution should an SMB IT support company adopt to help mitigate network vulnerabilities?

Question

Options

• AWebex Control Hub
• BFirePower Firewalls
• CCML
• DCatalyst Access Points

• A
  11% (6)
• B
  81% (43)
• C
  2% (1)
• D
  6% (3)

Explanation

FirePower Firewalls (B) are Cisco's purpose-built next-generation firewall (NGFW) platform designed specifically to detect and mitigate network vulnerabilities through intrusion prevention (IPS), advanced malware protection, and deep packet inspection - making them the right fit for an SMB needing active network threat defense.

Why the others are wrong:

• A. Webex Control Hub is a collaboration and communication management platform (video, messaging, calling) - it has nothing to do with network security.
• C. CML (Cisco Modeling Labs) is a network simulation/lab tool used for testing and training - not a production security solution.
• D. Catalyst Access Points are Wi-Fi hardware for wireless connectivity - they provide network access, not vulnerability mitigation.

Memory tip: Think "Fire"Power = fighting threats. Firewalls actively "fight" incoming network attacks, while the other options handle collaboration (Webex), learning/labs (CML), and wireless access (Catalyst APs) - none of which address vulnerabilities.
