Zero Trust Architecture (Security+) Quiz

1. What role does encryption play in Zero Trust Architecture?

Encryption is optional for internal traffic

All data in transit and at rest must be encrypted

Encryption only applies to external connections

Encryption is only for sensitive data

2. True or False: Zero Trust Architecture is only applicable to large enterprises.

True

False

3. What is the relationship between Zero Trust and the Security+ certification?

Security+ does not cover Zero Trust

Zero Trust is a required topic in Security+ exams

Zero Trust Architecture is an important modern security concept in Security+

Security+ only covers traditional perimeter security

4. Which scenario best demonstrates Zero Trust principles?

Allowing all employees to access all files once they log in

Verifying a user's identity, device compliance, and location before granting database access

Trusting all traffic on the corporate network

Using only a firewall to protect resources

5. What is the primary benefit of Zero Trust Architecture in modern cybersecurity?

True

False

7. Which principle aligns with Zero Trust when handling third-party access?

Grant unlimited access to vendors

Apply the same verification and least privilege rules

Trust vendors based on past relationships

Allow vendors full network access

8. In Zero Trust, what is the purpose of logging and monitoring all network activity?

To track employee productivity

To detect and respond to anomalies and threats

To slow down network performance

To comply with password policies

9. What is the core principle of Zero Trust Architecture?

Trust all internal networks by default

Never trust, always verify every access request

Trust users once they authenticate

Trust devices on the corporate network

10. Which of the following best describes the Zero Trust approach to internal networks?

11. What does continuous authentication mean in Zero Trust?

Verifying user identity only at login

Checking user credentials repeatedly during an active session

Requiring password changes daily

Authenticating only on the company network

12. True or False: In Zero Trust Architecture, once a user is authenticated, they have unlimited access to all resources.

True

False

13. Which technology is essential for identity verification in Zero Trust?

Multi-factor authentication (MFA)

Simple password policies

Network address translation

Firewall rules only

14. What is microsegmentation in Zero Trust?

Dividing the network into smaller zones to enforce access policies

Breaking network traffic into smaller packets

Reducing the size of the firewall rules

Segmenting user accounts into groups

15. Which of the following is NOT a pillar of Zero Trust Architecture?
