CCDE: Cisco Certified Design Expert (Practical) — Question 5

What is the most important operational driver in building a resilient and secure modular network design?

Answer options

• A. Minimize app downtime
• B. Reduce the frequency of failures requiring human intervention
• C. Increase time spent on developing new features
• D. Dependencies on hardware or software that is difficult to scale

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because minimizing the need for human intervention during failures directly contributes to network resilience and security. Options A and C focus on aspects that are important but do not address the operational drivers for resilience, while D highlights a negative aspect that should be avoided rather than a driver for design.
