Explanation

Zero Trust is correct because its core principle - "never trust, always verify" - applies to every session regardless of where the user is connecting from. Unlike perimeter-based security that trusts users once they're "inside" the network, Zero Trust continuously authenticates and authorizes every session, making it inherently location-agnostic.

Why the others are wrong:

  • B. Threat prevention is a security capability (blocking malware, exploits, etc.) within SASE, not a framework governing session trust. It doesn't address the on/off-network distinction.
  • C. Single-pass architecture (SPA) is an efficiency feature - it processes traffic through all security checks in one pass to reduce latency. It's about performance, not session protection scope.
  • D. DNS Security is a specific control that guards against DNS-based attacks and malicious domains. It's one layer of protection, not a holistic session-protection model.

Memory tip: Think of Zero Trust as "location-blind security" - it doesn't care if you're in the office or a coffee shop. The phrase "never trust, always verify" is the giveaway that Zero Trust is the answer whenever a question mentions protection that works regardless of location or network.
