Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies (SPCOR) — Question 110

How can a network administrator secure rest APIs?

Answer options

• A. They can have a general administrator login for multiple users to access that has command entries logged.
• B. They can authenticate user sessions and provide the appropriate privilege level.
• C. They can ensure that user sessions are authenticated using TACACS+ only.
• D. They can allow read and write privileges to all users.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because authenticating user sessions and assigning appropriate privilege levels is essential for securing REST APIs. Option A is incorrect as a general login reduces security, while option C is too restrictive by relying exclusively on TACACS+. Option D is also wrong as granting all users read and write access poses significant security risks.
