???? QUESTION NO: 352 [Business-Driven Design Approaches]
Creating a network that functions as a strategic business enabler starts with understanding business requirements. What specific type of knowledge helps create high-level LAN, WAN, and data center designs that support the business?
A. Risk assessment
B. Monitoring and management of data
C. Understanding of data flows
D. Recovery time of the system’s functionality
Answer: C
???? Explanation:
C: Understanding how data flows between users, applications, and services is essential to designing LAN, WAN, and data center architectures that align with business workflows. This helps ensure that the network supports critical paths, minimizes latency, and enhances availability.
Other options:
A: Risk assessment supports security planning, not primary network architecture.
B: Monitoring/management occurs after deployment, not during high-level design.
D: Recovery time (RTO) is part of disaster recovery, not initial network architecture.

A banking customer using mobile token authentication suffers unauthorized access through phishing. Which policy change helps prevent this in the future?
A. Monitor connections to unknown cloud instances using SSL decryption
B. Monitor all API interfacing to the storage platform for suspicious activity
C. Monitor any access from the outside except for expected operational areas
D. Monitor the privileges for users making firewall configuration changes
Answer: A
???? Explanation:
A: Phishing attacks often spoof SSL/TLS sessions or redirect traffic to rogue endpoints. Monitoring connections to unknown cloud instances—especially with SSL decryption—can detect traffic to phishing sites or unauthorized resources.
Other options:
B: Monitoring APIs helps but doesn ' t directly address phishing-based redirection.
C: Blanket outside access restrictions are impractical and not effective against token hijacking.
D: Firewall config changes are administrative-level concerns, unrelated to app-level token misuse.

???? QUESTION NO: 354 [Technology Comparisons and Use Cases]
Which two constraints of REST are important when building cloud-based solutions? (Choose two)
A. Separation of resources from representation
B. Migration of resources by representations
C. Distribution of resources through platforms
D. Hyper-scale as the engine of application state
E. Self-descriptive messages
Answer: A, E
???? Explanation:
A: REST separates the resource (URI) from its representation (JSON, XML, etc.), allowing for flexible interfaces and abstraction in distributed systems like the cloud.
E: RESTful communication relies on self-descriptive messages, enabling stateless communication—critical for scalable and resilient cloud-native design.
Other options:
B, C, and D are not part of REST’s formal constraints and misrepresent architectural principles.
