What is the fundamental principle of Zero Trust as applied to networks?

No entity is trusted by default, and every request is verified.

Trust is granted based on the network location of the device.

Trust is established once and maintained for the duration of the session.

Trust is determined by the strength of the encryption used on the network.

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

To replace the need for firewalls in the network.

To connect multiple remote sites securely.

To improve network performance by reducing traffic.

To isolate individual workloads and limit lateral movement.

A large enterprise is implementing micro-segmentation in its data center. The security team wants to minimize the risk of lateral movement, but the operations team is concerned that overly strict policies will break legitimate application dependencies. Which approach best addresses both concerns?

Use a single large VLAN for all applications to simplify management.

Start with a deny-all policy and gradually add allow rules based on observed traffic patterns.

Segment only the most critical applications and leave the rest unsegmented.

Implement a broad allow-all policy and rely on monitoring to detect anomalies.

What is the purpose of end-to-end encryption for data in transit in a Zero Trust network?

To replace the need for authentication.

To speed up network communication.

To protect data from being read or modified while it travels across the network.

To allow network devices to inspect traffic content.

In a Zero Trust network, what does 'verify every request' typically require?

Encrypting all traffic with the strongest available algorithm.

Allowing traffic only from known IP addresses.

Checking the user's identity and device posture before granting access.

Granting access based on the user's role in the organization.
