CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 14

An analyst is evaluating the implementation of Zero Trust principles within the data plane. Which of the following would be most relevant for the analyst to evaluate?

Answer options

• A. Secured zones
• B. Subject role
• C. Adaptive identity
• D. Threat scope reduction

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Secured zones, because they represent areas where data is segmented and protected under Zero Trust principles, ensuring that only authorized users can access sensitive information. The other options, while relevant to Zero Trust, do not directly pertain to the structural segmentation and security of the data plane.
