Explanation

Option C is correct because Aruba's Zero Trust Security solution requires two distinct layers: Aruba Unified Infrastructure (the network fabric of switches, APs, and gateways that enforces security policies at every access point) and Aruba 360 Security Exchange (the overarching security framework that orchestrates authentication and role-based access control across the environment). Together, these form the minimum viable foundation - one enforces, one governs.

Option A is wrong because ClearPass Policy Manager is a component within the 360 Security Exchange ecosystem, not a separate peer to it - pairing it with Unified Infrastructure duplicates scope and misrepresents the solution architecture. Option B omits Unified Infrastructure entirely, leaving no enforcement layer to actually implement zero-trust policies at the network edge. Option D combines two ClearPass products (Policy Manager for AAA/RBAC and Device Insight for AI-powered visibility), but ClearPass Device Insight is a profiling/discovery tool, not a core authentication/RBAC requirement - and critically, this option is also missing the Unified Infrastructure.

Memory tip: Think "Underground 360" - the Unified Infrastructure is the underground plumbing (hidden enforcement layer), and 360 Security Exchange wraps around everything with full-circle security (authentication + roles). If an answer has two ClearPass products or lacks infrastructure, it's incomplete.
