How can issues with traffic safety and new connected vehicles be addressed?

Question

Options

• Aprovide insight into the data generated from roadway sensors and devices
• Bconverge multi-services network designed for resiliency and deployment and management at scale
• CCisco Validated Designs provide peace of mind and clear compliances
• Dzero trust model, increase visibility, segmenting traffic mitigate and threat protection end-to-end

• A
  15% (8)
• B
  4% (2)
• C
  8% (4)
• D
  74% (39)

Explanation

Option D is correct because connected vehicles introduce cybersecurity risks at scale - a zero trust model ensures no device is inherently trusted, increased visibility lets operators detect anomalies, traffic segmentation limits lateral movement if a breach occurs, and end-to-end threat protection covers the full attack surface of vehicle-to-infrastructure communication.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A - Roadway sensor data insight addresses operational analytics, not security threats to connected vehicles.
• B - A converged multi-services network addresses network architecture and scalability, not the security risks specific to connected vehicles.
• C - Cisco Validated Designs address deployment compliance and design assurance, not active threat mitigation for vehicle connectivity.

Memory tip: Think "Zero Trust = Never Trust, Always Verify" - for connected vehicles, every endpoint (car, sensor, traffic light) is a potential attack vector. The four elements in D (zero trust, visibility, segmentation, threat protection) map directly to the NIST cybersecurity framework's identify-protect-detect-respond cycle, which is the standard approach for securing any IoT-heavy environment like smart roads.
