Which design influences the deployment strategy for agents?

• A. Agent Layout
• B. Network Architecture
• C. Topography of Deployments
• D. Infrastructure Design

Answer: (B)

The deployment strategy for agents is shaped by how the network is built. The network architecture defines how devices connect to each other and to services, where traffic flows, and what security controls (firewalls, proxies, VPNs) exist. This matters because enrolling, updating, and managing agents requires reliable paths to the management server and to policy updates. For example, if endpoints are spread across multiple subnets with strict firewall rules, you may need central relays, cloud-based management, or VPN access to reach the server, guiding how you roll out the agents. If the network is simple and all devices can reach the management console directly, a straightforward push deployment from the on-premises server might suffice. The other options describe placement or distribution aspects, but they don’t directly determine enrollment and communication constraints—the key factor in planning how you deploy agents.
