Quiz questions and answers
Question 1: For network security, which three challenges have emerged as a result of rapid and disruptive digital innovation? (Choose three)
- Evolving compliance requirements
- Too few security vendors to choose from
- Resistance to multi-cloud adoption from the enterprise
- Expanding attack surface
- Growing number of off-network users accessing the central data center, without proper security
Why: Digital innovation brought more off-network users, a bigger attack surface and changing compliance rules; a shortage of vendors was never the problem.
Question 2: Which statement is true regarding how SASE is delivered?
- SASE must be delivered using cloud-based services only
- SASE is delivered only to remote users, and not to branch offices
- SASE is delivered using a combination of cloud-based services and optional physical on premise devices
- SASE must be delivered using a combination of physical on premise devices and cloud-based services
Why: SASE is mainly cloud-delivered, with optional on-premises devices where a site needs them.
Question 3: What are two benefits of SASE? (Choose two)
- Limits the number of remote off network users connecting to cloud-based applications
- Shift from operating expense to capital expense
- Consistent security for mobile workforces
- Optimized paths for all users to all clouds to improve performance and agility
- Limits “Bring-Your-Own-Device” behavior in the organization
Why: SASE gives mobile workers the same security everywhere and routes users to cloud apps along optimised paths.
Question 4: What does the term “Thin Edge” refer to?
- A poorly protected network
- branch locations with minimal security that are attached to a core network
- An organization that consumes little to no cloud-based services
- Remote users
Why: A thin edge is a branch site with minimal on-site security that connects back to the core network.
Question 5: Which two cloud capabilities are combined to deliver SASE? (Choose two)
- API-as-a-Service
- Security-as-a-Service
- Database-as-a-Service
- Network-as-a-Service
Why: SASE combines Network-as-a-Service and Security-as-a-Service from the cloud.
Question 6: What behavior has impacted how users access corporate information, and thus requirements for network security?
- Users upgrading software to obtain current features, bug fixes and security patches
- Users having multiple email accounts
- Users having different login credentials to access different systems
- Users accessing enterprise systems through personal devices that are not part of the enterprise infrastructure
Why: Employees reaching company systems from personal devices (BYOD) changed how access has to be secured.
Question 7: What are three core capabilities of SASE? (Choose three)
- Threat intelligence sharing
- Data loss prevention
- Security Fabric management
- Next-Generation firewall
- Zero-Trust network access
Why: SASE’s core security capabilities include zero-trust network access, next-generation firewall and data loss prevention.
Question 8: What is the goal of SASE?
- Provide real-time analysis of security alerts generated by applications and network hardware
- Provide threat intelligence updates to protect organizations from malicious and sophisticated cyber-attacks
- Provide management and deployment of security devices and cloud security services for organizations
- Support the dynamic, secure access needs of today’s organizations by extending enterprise-grade security and networking regardless of location
Why: SASE aims to give enterprise-grade networking and security to users wherever they are.
Question 9: What is a result of outdated network security solutions requiring all traffic running through the core data center for inspection?
- Decreased time for event analysis and remediation
- Increased deployment time
- Latency
- Higher capital expenditure
Why: Sending all traffic back through the data center for inspection (backhauling) adds latency.
