Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Operations Fundamentals (CBROPS) — Question 286

What does the Zero Trust security model signify?

Answer options

• A. Zero Trust security means that no one is trusted by default from inside or outside the network.
• B. Zero Trust addresses access control and states that an individual should have only the minimum access privileges necessary to perform specific tasks.
• C. Zero Trust states that no users should be given enough privileges to misuse the system on their own.
• D. Zero Trust states that unless a subject is given explicit access to an object, it should be denied access to that object.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, emphasizes that the Zero Trust model operates on the principle of not trusting any user or device by default, regardless of their location. Options B, C, and D, while related to access control and permission management, do not capture the core essence of Zero Trust, which is the fundamental distrust of all entities until proven otherwise.
