What is the role of continuous monitoring in a Zero Trust cloud security model?

To provide a backup of all cloud resources

To automatically patch all operating systems on a schedule

To provide real-time visibility into user activities and resource access for detecting anomalies

To replace the need for encryption of data in transit

A company has a hybrid cloud environment with on-premises and cloud resources. They want to implement a software-defined perimeter (SDP) to protect access to their cloud applications. They need to ensure that only authorized users can access specific applications, and that the SDP can dynamically adapt to changing user context (e.g., location, device). They also need to integrate with their existing identity provider. What should they implement?

A cloud-based SDP solution that integrates with the identity provider, uses a controller to authenticate users and devices, and dynamically creates a secure connection to the application only after verification

A VPN that provides access to the entire network, with the identity provider used for authentication

A firewall with application-level rules that allow access based on source IP and destination port

A network access control (NAC) solution that checks device compliance before granting access to the network

What is the primary purpose of micro-segmentation in a cloud network?

To replace the need for identity verification for all internal traffic

To isolate workloads into small, distinct segments so that a breach in one segment does not spread laterally

To increase the speed of the network by reducing routing hops

To consolidate all workloads into a single flat network for easier management

Which cloud identity control enforces Zero Trust by requiring a second factor beyond just a password?

Role-based access control (RBAC)

Multi-factor authentication (MFA)

What is the main benefit of using infrastructure as code (IaC) to deploy Zero Trust security policies in the cloud?

It eliminates the need for identity verification for cloud users

It removes the need for monitoring cloud workloads

It guarantees that no security misconfigurations will ever occur

It allows security policies to be defined and deployed consistently across environments
