CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 156

A systems administrator is working on a solution with the following requirements:
• Provide a secure zone.
• Enforce a company-wide access control policy.
• Reduce the scope of threats.
Which of the following is the systems administrator setting up?

Answer options

• A. Zero Trust
• B. AAA
• C. Non-repudiation
• D. CIA

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Zero Trust, as it focuses on ensuring strict access controls and reducing the attack surface by not trusting any entity by default. Options B (AAA), C (Non-repudiation), and D (CIA) do not specifically address the combination of creating a secure zone and enforcing a company-wide access control policy in the context of threat reduction.
