Explanation
B is correct because the CX 10000 Series with Pensando actually uses a distributed security model, not a centralized one. The Pensando DPU (Data Processing Unit) enables stateful firewall and policy enforcement directly at the switch level - pushing security to the network edge rather than routing traffic to a central security appliance.
Option A (True) is wrong because "centralized" is the opposite of what Pensando delivers. A centralized model creates bottlenecks by funneling all traffic through a single point; Pensando's value proposition is eliminating that bottleneck by distributing enforcement across the fabric.
Memory tip: Think of Pensando as "security at the source" - the DPU processes traffic where it enters, not at a central choke point. If you associate Pensando = distributed, you'll immediately flag "centralized" as the trap answer on any related question.
