What is associated with implementing Cisco zero-trust architecture?

Question

Options

• AIt verifies trust before granting access to resources.
• BIt focuses on perimeter-based security.
• CIt assumes that all network traffic is trustworthy.
• DIt provides the same security as the VPN technology.

• A
  86% (48)
• B
  4% (2)
• C
  2% (1)
• D
  9% (5)

Explanation

Cisco's zero-trust architecture is built on the principle of "never trust, always verify" - meaning every user, device, and request must be authenticated and authorized before gaining access to any resource, making A correct. B is wrong because zero trust explicitly replaces perimeter-based security, which assumes anything inside the network boundary is safe. C is the opposite of zero trust - the entire model exists because zero trust assumes no traffic is inherently trustworthy, even internal traffic. D is incorrect because VPNs grant broad network access once connected, whereas zero trust enforces granular, per-resource access control - a fundamentally different security model.

Memory tip: Think of zero trust as a strict nightclub bouncer who checks ID at every door inside the club, not just the front entrance - nobody gets a free pass just for being "inside."
