ZTA utilizes which of the following to improve the network's security posture?

  1. Micro-segmentation and encryption
  2. Compliance analytics and network communication
  3. Network communication and micro-segmentation
  4. Encryption and compliance analytics

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Verified Answer = A) Micro-segmentation and encryption Very Short Explanation = ZTA uses micro-segmentation to divide the network into smaller, isolated segments that can prevent unauthorized access and contain lateral movement. ZTA also uses encryption to protect data in transit and at rest from eavesdropping and tampering.



To ensure an acceptable user experience when implementing SDP, a security architect should collaborate with IT to do what?

  1. Plan to release SDP as part of a single major change or a "big-bang" implementation.
  2. Model and plan the user experience, client software distribution, and device onboarding processes.
  3. Build the business case for SDP, based on cost modeling and business value.
  4. Advise IT stakeholders that the security team will fully manage all aspects of the SDP rollout.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

To ensure an acceptable user experience when implementing SDP, a security architect should collaborate with IT to model and plan the user experience, client software distribution, and device onboarding processes. This is because SDP requires users to install and use client software to access the protected resources, and the user experience may vary depending on the device type, operating system, network conditions, and security policies. By modeling and planning the user experience, the security architect and IT can ensure that the SDP implementation is user-friendly, consistent, and secure.

Which vital ZTA component enhances network security and simplifies management by creating boundaries between resources in the same network zone?

  1. Micro-segmentation
  2. Session establishment or termination
  3. Decision transmission
  4. Authentication request/validation request (AR/VR)

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Micro-segmentation is a vital ZTA component that enhances network security and simplifies management by creating boundaries between resources in the same network zone. Micro- segmentation divides the network into smaller segments or zones based on the attributes and context of the resources, such as data sensitivity, application functionality, user roles, etc. Micro- segmentation helps to isolate and protect the resources from unauthorized access and lateral movement of attackers within the same network zone.

To validate the implementation of ZT and ZTA, rigorous testing is essential. This ensures that access controls are functioning correctly and effectively safeguarded against potential threats, while the intended service levels are delivered. Testing of ZT is therefore

  1. creating an agile culture for rapid deployment of ZT
  2. integrated in the overall cybersecurity program
  3. providing evidence of continuous improvement
  4. allowing direct user feedback

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Testing of ZT is providing evidence of continuous improvement because it helps to measure the effectiveness and efficiency of the ZT and ZTA implementation. Testing of ZT also helps to identify and address any gaps, issues, or risks that may arise during the ZT and ZTA lifecycle. Testing of ZT enables the organization to monitor and evaluate the ZT and ZTA performance and maturity, and to apply feedback and lessons learned to improve the ZT and ZTA processes and outcomes.

What is a server exploitation threat that SDP features (server isolation, single packet authorization [SPA], and dynamic drop-all firewalls) protect against?

  1. Certificate forgery attacks
  2. Denial of service (DoS)/distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks
  3. Phishing attacks
  4. Domain name system (DNS) poisoning attacks

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

SDP features protect against certificate forgery attacks by using identity verification mechanisms that prevent attackers from impersonating servers or users. Reference: Zero Trust Training (ZTT) - Module 8: Testing and Validation
