Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals — Question 75

Which three statements accurately describe the guiding principles of Zero Trust? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Answer options

• A. Define the perimeter by physical locations.
• B. Use identity as the primary security boundary.
• C. Always verify the permissions of a user explicitly.
• D. Always assume that the user system can be breached.
• E. Use the network as the primary security boundary.

Correct answer: B, C, D

Explanation

The correct answers B, C, and D reflect the essence of the Zero Trust model, which emphasizes identity and explicit verification as critical security measures. Option A is incorrect because Zero Trust does not rely on physical location for defining the perimeter, and option E contradicts the Zero Trust principle by suggesting the network itself is a primary boundary.
