A company is deploying Zero Trust and wants to ensure that only corporate-managed and patched devices can access internal applications. Which control is most directly aligned with the Devices pillar?

Require users to change their passwords every 60 days

Encrypt all traffic between the device and the application server

Use a network firewall to block traffic from unknown IP addresses

Enforce device compliance checks (e.g., patch level, encryption, jailbreak status) before granting access to any application

A multinational company stores customer data in a cloud environment and also on employee laptops. The security team needs to ensure that sensitive data is protected regardless of where it resides, and that only authorized users can access it. Which approach aligns with the Data pillar?

Restrict all data access to the corporate network and block any remote access to laptops

Classify data by sensitivity, encrypt it everywhere, and apply access policies based on user identity and context

Move all sensitive data to the cloud and rely on the cloud provider's default security settings

Encrypt all data with a single key stored in the cloud and give all employees access to that key

An organization wants to ensure that only verified users can access its customer relationship management (CRM) system, and that each user can only see the data relevant to their role. Which combination of controls aligns with the Identity pillar?

Use a single sign-on (SSO) solution and allow all users to see all CRM data

Require MFA for all CRM users and assign role-based access permissions that limit data visibility

Require a strong password and change it monthly, with no other access restrictions

Encrypt the CRM database and require a VPN for all access

How do the Zero Trust pillars work together to enforce security?

The Data pillar is the only pillar that matters

The Network pillar replaces the need for the Identity pillar

Identity verification informs device access and data protection policies

Each pillar operates independently without affecting others

What assumption does the Network pillar make about the network?

The network is secure and trustworthy

The network is managed by a third party

The network is only a concern for external traffic
