CISSP study material · question 209 of 500

An executive asks what changed in enterprise computing to prompt zero trust, and what zero trust protects as a result. Which answer matches SP 800-207?

  1. Perimeter firewalls became unreliable, so zero trust protects the perimeter with redundant devices.
  2. Encryption became cheap, so zero trust protects data at rest rather than in transit.
  3. Regulatory pressure increased, so zero trust protects compliance evidence rather than assets.
  4. Remote users, personally owned devices and cloud assets moved outside the boundary, so zero trust protects resources rather than network segments.
Show the answer

Answer: D. Remote users, personally owned devices and cloud assets moved outside the boundary, so zero trust protects resources rather than network segments.

Zero trust is a response to remote users, bring-your-own-device and cloud assets outside enterprise-owned boundaries, and it focuses on protecting resources rather than network segments.
