Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) — Question 378

What is a description of microsegmentation?

Answer options

• A. Environments deploy a container orchestration platform, such as Kubernetes, to manage the application delivery.
• B. Environments apply a zero-trust model and specify how applications on different servers or containers can communicate.
• C. Environments deploy centrally managed host-based firewall rules on each server or container.
• D. Environments implement private VLAN segmentation to group servers with similar applications.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because microsegmentation focuses on applying a zero-trust model, which restricts communication between applications on different servers or containers. Option A refers to container orchestration, option C mentions firewall rules, and option D talks about VLAN segmentation, none of which define microsegmentation accurately.
