What is a key feature of Application Visibility and Control?

Automated remediation APIs are associated with platforms like Cisco SecureX or ISE, not a defining feature of AVC.

Retrospective security is a capability of Cisco AMP (Advanced Malware Protection), which analyzes files after initial inspection to detect threats discovered later.

Scalable policy inheritance is a feature of Cisco ISE or APIC-EM for policy management, not a function of AVC.

AVC provides deep packet inspection and classification to detect and control applications that use protocol hopping, tunneling, or port obfuscation to evade traditional firewalls. Unlike stateful firewalls that rely on port/protocol matching, AVC uses behavioral and signature-based analysis to identify evasive applications. This allows network administrators to apply granular policies even to apps that disguise their traffic.
