Which two statements are true regarding Cisco leadership in security technologies? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• ACisco is the market leader in enterprise security revenue.
• BGartner evaluated Cisco as the leader in IP surveillance, SSL VPN, and email security.
• CGartner evaluated Cisco as the leader in SSL VPN, secure web gateway, network access control,
• DCisco has a background of more than 25 years of proven firewall development.

• A
  93% (27)
• B
  3% (1)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

A is correct because Cisco holds the top position in enterprise security revenue globally, making it the market leader by that financial measure. C is correct because Gartner specifically recognized Cisco as a leader in SSL VPN, secure web gateway (SWG), and network access control (NAC) - this is the accurate combination from Gartner's Magic Quadrant evaluations.

B is wrong because while it correctly mentions SSL VPN, it incorrectly adds "IP surveillance" and "email security" to Cisco's Gartner leadership categories - those are not part of the recognized trio. D is wrong because Cisco's firewall history is over 30 years, not "more than 25 years" - while technically not false, the phrasing is deliberately misleading and not the recognized claim used in Cisco's own materials.

Memory tip: Think "A = #1 in $$$" (market revenue leader) and "C = the three web/access Gartner wins" - SSL VPN, Secure Web Gateway, NAC. If an answer mixes in unrelated categories like IP surveillance or understates Cisco's history, it's a distractor.
