Question 240
During a Cisco ISE postchange review, the following is observed: An ISE policy author makes an exception that grants full employee access whenever authentication fails, intending to help during a directory outage. Which observation would BEST verify successful remediation?
Explanation
Correct Answer
A bad-password test stays denied, and a separate approved outage scenario receives only the documented continuity role. The required remediation is: Change the authentication and authorization exception actions to controlled denial or strictly limited approved critical access. It works because an authentication failure is not proof of a trusted identity; an unconditional allow exception defeats the authorization barrier.
Incorrect Answers
Reorder and constrain the ISE authorization rules so the intended matching condition precedes the broad fallback deny. The repeat risk here is different: Change the authentication and authorization exception actions to controlled denial or strictly limited approved critical access. A directly relevant preventive control is: A bad-password test stays denied, and a separate approved outage scenario receives only the documented continuity role.
Narrow the policy-set conditions using authentic network-device group, SSID, and protocol attributes before evaluating its detailed rules. The repeat risk here is different: Change the authentication and authorization exception actions to controlled denial or strictly limited approved critical access. A directly relevant preventive control is: A bad-password test stays denied, and a separate approved outage scenario receives only the documented continuity role.
Maintain per-directory schema mapping tests before identity store migrations. The repeat risk here is different: Change the authentication and authorization exception actions to controlled denial or strictly limited approved critical access. A directly relevant preventive control is: A bad-password test stays denied, and a separate approved outage scenario receives only the documented continuity role.
