I checked and it's confirmed B is correct answer
Data Sovereignty and Strict Data Isolation: The Cloud Identity Engine (CIE) allows you to select a specific region for each CIE instance (tenant) where your directory data will be stored . By creating separate CIE tenants for each regional business unit, you can deploy each tenant in the geographical region relevant to that business unit, directly addressing data sovereignty requirements. This ensures that identity data for a specific region is physically stored and processed only within that region, providing strict data isolation at the storage level.
Aggregating Identity Data: Each separate CIE tenant can integrate with the identity providers (IdPs) relevant to its specific region, such as on-premises Active Directory, Azure AD, or Okta . This allows for the aggregation of identity data pertinent to that business unit within its dedicated tenant.
Regional Redistribution to Firewalls: With separate tenants, user and group information can be configured to be redistributed exclusively from a specific regional CIE tenant to the firewalls belonging to that region. Panorama, which manages these regional firewalls, can be configured to retrieve group mapping information from the designated CIE instance . This ensures that each region's firewalls only receive the user and group information relevant to their respective region, without exposure to out-of-scope data from other regions.
Minimizing Administrative Overhead: While creating multiple tenants might seem like additional setup, it centralizes the management of identity data for each region within its dedicated CIE tenant. This is more efficient for managing regional data isolation and sovereignty compared to attempting to filter a single, globally aggregated dataset on every firewall or managing direct connections to local IdPs for each firewall individually. The CIE simplifies the configuration of identity sources into a unified source of user identity, allowing scalability .
A multinational organization wants to use the Cloud Identity Engine (CIE) to aggregate identity data from multiple sources (on premises AD, Azure AD, Okta) while enforcing strict data isolation for different regional business units. Each region’s firewalls, managed via Panorama, must only receive the user and group information relevant to that region. The organization aims to minimize administrative overhead while meeting data sovereignty requirements. Which approach achieves this segmentation of identity data? (Choose one answer)
