SNCF — Securing Networks with Firepower — Question 65

What is the advantage of having Cisco Firepower devices send events to Cisco Threat Response via the security services exchange portal directly as opposed to using syslog?

Answer options

• A. Firepower devices do not need to be connected to the Internet.
• B. An on-premises proxy server does not need to set up and maintained.
• C. All types of Firepower devices are supported.
• D. Supports all devices that are running supported versions of Firepower

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because by using the security services exchange portal, there is no need for an on-premises proxy server, simplifying management. Option A is incorrect since connectivity requirements can vary. Options C and D, while true, do not specifically highlight the benefit of avoiding proxy server setup and maintenance.
