Question

A security engineer is reviewing a Python snippet that queries a Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center API and stores the JSON response in a variable named 'data'. The relevant portion reads:

for rule in data['items']:
    if rule['action'] == 'ALLOW':
        print(rule['name'])

Assuming the API returned a well-formed response, what does this script accomplish?

Accepted Answer

It prints the name of every access control rule whose action is set to ALLOW.

Answer

It modifies each access control rule so its action becomes ALLOW, then prints the rule name.

Answer

It counts the total number of rules in the response and prints the sum.

Answer

It deletes all rules that are not set to ALLOW and prints the remaining names.
