Cisco Security Sales for System Engineers — Question 22

What are two reasons why perimeter-based network security is no longer sufficient? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. More users
• B. More devices
• C. More networks
• D. More IT professionals
• E. More vulnerabilities

Correct answer: B, E

Explanation

The correct answers are B and E. The rise in the number of devices connected to networks increases the attack surface, making it harder to secure the perimeter. Additionally, the proliferation of vulnerabilities means that perimeter defenses alone cannot adequately protect against sophisticated threats that may already exist inside the network.
