   A company has deployed a customer-managed outpost in a remote office. The outpost successfully registers with the Cortex tenant, but the Cortex tenant cannot receive telemetry data from the outpost. The network team confirms that the outpost can reach the internet. Which two communication requirements should the administrator verify first?

   • AThat the outpost has a public IP address and that the Cortex tenant can initiate a connection to the outpost on TCP port 443.
   • BThat the outpost is configured with the correct DNS servers and that the Cortex tenant's FQDN resolves to a private IP address.
   • CThat the outpost's firewall allows inbound traffic on TCP port 443 and that the Cortex tenant's IP addresses are whitelisted in the outpost's security policy.
   • DThat the outpost can reach the Cortex tenant on TCP port 443 and that the outbound traffic is not being intercepted by a proxy that requires authentication.
