This domain includes such technical skills as comparing Endpoint Detection and Response, as well as Endpoint Protection Platform solutions, explaining retrospective security, antimalware, antivirus, IOC, dynamic file analysis, and endpoint-sourced telemetry, explaining the importance of the endpoint patching strategy, describing endpoint posture assessment solutions, and explaining the value of asset inventory such as MDM.
- Network Security (20%)
This objective evaluates the test takers’ competency in comparing network security solutions that provide firewall capabilities and intrusion prevention, describing the deployment models of network security architectures and solutions that provide firewall capabilities and intrusion prevention, describing the components, benefits, and capabilities of Flexible NetFlow records, and verifying and configuring network infrastructure security methods (wireless, switch, router). They also need to demonstrate their knowledge of Layer 2 methods, which include network segmentation using VRF-lite and VLANs; DHCP snooping, Layer 2 and port security, storm control, Dynamic ARP inspection, defense against ARP, MAC, VLAN hopping, and DHCP rogue attacks.
- Secure Network Access (15%)
Within this objective, the examinees need to demonstrate their competency in describing the benefits of network telemetry, explaining exfiltration techniques, describing network access with CoA, and describing secure network access and identity management.
- Security Concepts (25%)
This subject area covers the learners’ proficiency in explaining DNAC APIs for network provisioning, troubleshooting, monitoring, and optimization, interpreting basic Python scripts used in calling Cisco Security appliances APIs, and describing South Bound and North Bound APIs in the SDN building. They are also required to demonstrate their ability to explain how endpoint helps the individuals overcome social engineering and phishing attacks, describe security intelligence authoring, consumption, and sharing, and compare remote access VPN and site-to-site VPN deployment types, such as DMVPN, Crypto map, IPsec, sVTI, FLEXVPN, including AnyConnect and high availability.
This area also assesses the candidates’ expertise in comparing common security vulnerabilities such as software bugs, hardcoded and/or weak passwords, path traversal, buffer overflow, cross-site scripting/forgery, and missing encryption. Their ability to explain common threats against Cloud and on-premises environments is also tested within this domain.
The Cisco 350-701 SCOR exam tests the candidates' knowledge of operating and implementing core security technologies such as network or cloud security, content security, or endpoint protection and detection.
