Question 210
An enterprise identity operations team must resolve this situation: A company wants to limit production access to workstations with an approved active antimalware solution, but the posture rule checks only a registry marker unrelated to the installed protection. Which remediation most directly corrects the reported policy or access problem?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The underlying cause is: Cisco ISE posture conditions and requirements must evaluate relevant supported antimalware or service attributes instead of an unrelated single marker. The correct response is: Define an appropriate antimalware posture condition and mandatory requirement for the supported OS and map it to the intended authorization policy. Confirm by checking: A compliant test laptop passes while a test laptop with missing or disabled required protection becomes noncompliant and receives remediation access.
Incorrect Answers
That intervention addresses noncompliant client remediation dacl, where Posture remediation requires explicitly permitted destinations and protocols while still preventing access to protected production resources. Here, the relevant failure is instead: Cisco ISE posture conditions and requirements must evaluate relevant supported antimalware or service attributes instead of an unrelated single marker.
That intervention addresses disk encryption compliance posture verification, where Endpoint compliance checks evaluate configured posture requirements; a missing or optional disk encryption requirement cannot enforce a mandatory protection control. In this question the necessary remedy is “Define an appropriate antimalware posture condition and mandatory requirement for the supported OS and map it to the intended authorization policy”, which this alternative does not provide.
That intervention addresses unknown posture status initial restricted access, where Successful identity authentication does not establish endpoint compliance; posture can be Unknown until the assessment completes and reports a final result. The observed condition is a company wants to limit production access to workstations with an approved active antimalware solution, but the posture rule checks only a registry marker unrelated to the installed protection; this mechanism addresses another problem.
