Question 440
A campus and branch network operator reports: An organization imports a CSV containing several hundred IoT MAC addresses with inconsistent separators and duplicate entries, then assigns every row the same administrator-level role. Which recurring operational control would reduce this risk?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Implement input validation and change review for bulk endpoint inventory uploads. This control addresses recurrence of the observed failure. The governing behavior is: Endpoint provisioning requires unique valid MAC identities and appropriate classification; an import file alone is not an authorization safety check. The ongoing acceptance check remains: A representative import sample contains unique endpoints with intended limited groups and no privileged authorization.
Incorrect Answers
An authorized MAC identity can outlive its physical device; deleting hardware does not revoke ISE endpoint authorization automatically. The repeat risk here is different: Endpoint provisioning requires unique valid MAC identities and appropriate classification; an import file alone is not an authorization safety check. A directly relevant preventive control is: Implement input validation and change review for bulk endpoint inventory uploads.
A profiler classification and a manually administered identity-group membership are distinct attributes used in policy conditions. The repeat risk here is different: Endpoint provisioning requires unique valid MAC identities and appropriate classification; an import file alone is not an authorization safety check. A directly relevant preventive control is: Implement input validation and change review for bulk endpoint inventory uploads.
CoA packet support and action semantics vary among NADs; ISE's classification alone cannot overcome an unsupported device action. The repeat risk here is different: Endpoint provisioning requires unique valid MAC identities and appropriate classification; an import file alone is not an authorization safety check. A directly relevant preventive control is: Implement input validation and change review for bulk endpoint inventory uploads.
