HP Exam HPE7-A02 Topic 2 Question 12 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE7-A02 exam

Question #: 12
Topic #: 2

A company uses both HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) and HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Device Insight (CPDI). What is one way integrating the two solutions can help the company implement Zero Trust Security?

ACPPM can inform CPDI that it has assigned a particular Aruba-User-Role to a client; CPDI can then use that information to reclassify the client.

BCPDI can use tags to inform CPPM that clients are using prohibited applications. CPPM can then tell the network infrastructure to quarantine those clients.

CCPPM can provide CPDI with custom device fingerprint definitions in order to enhance the company's total visibility.

DCPDI can provide CPPM with extra information about users' identity. CPPM can then use that information to apply the correct identity-based enforcement.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Integration of CPDI and CPPM for Zero Trust:

CPDI (ClearPass Device Insight) identifies and profiles devices and applications on the network.

CPDI can tag devices based on their behavior or detected applications.

CPPM uses these tags to enforce policies, such as quarantining clients that violate security rules (e.g., using prohibited applications).

Option Analysis:

Option A: Incorrect. CPPM does not inform CPDI about role assignments; CPDI provides device context to CPPM.

Option B: Correct. CPDI tags clients, and CPPM uses those tags to enforce quarantine or other Zero Trust actions.

Option C: Incorrect. Custom fingerprint definitions are not part of this integration.

Option D: Incorrect. CPDI provides information about devices, not user identities.

I like option C. If CPPM can share client Aruba-User-Role info with CPDI, that will let CPDI reclassify clients accordingly and apply the right access controls.

Option B sounds like the best way to integrate CPPM and CPDI to enhance Zero Trust Security. If CPDI can provide extra user identity info to CPPM, that will allow for more robust identity-based enforcement policies.

It's important to have a comprehensive view of both devices and users to implement Zero Trust Security effectively.
