Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v12) — Question 78

Eric, a cloud security engineer, implements a technique for securing the cloud resources used by his organization. This technique assumes by default that a user attempting to access the network is not an authentic entity and verifies every incoming connection before allowing access to the network. Using this technique, he also imposed conditions such that employees can access only the resources required for their role.
What is the technique employed by Eric to secure cloud resources?

Answer options

• A. Demilitarized zone
• B. Zero trust network
• C. Serverless computing
• D. Container technology

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as the Zero Trust Network model requires verification for every user and device attempting to access resources, assuming they are untrusted by default. Options A, C, and D do not align with this principle; a Demilitarized Zone is a network segmentation method, Serverless Computing is about application deployment, and Container Technology pertains to software packaging.
