CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 158

When accessing corporate network resources, users are required to authenticate to each application they try to access. Which of the following concepts does this
BEST represent?

Answer options

• A. SSO
• B. Zero Trust
• C. VPN
• D. Role-based access control

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The scenario illustrates the Zero Trust model, where verification is required for every access attempt to resources, emphasizing security without assuming trust. In contrast, SSO (Single Sign-On) allows users to authenticate once for multiple applications, which does not align with the requirement here. VPN (Virtual Private Network) provides secure remote access but does not pertain to authentication for each application, and Role-based access control focuses on granting access based on user roles rather than on the need for repeated authentication.
