An enterprise organization is deploying Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) across its cloud and on-premises infrastructure. Match each core Zero Trust principle on the left with its corresponding operational security mechanism on the right.
- Explicit VerificationEvaluating user identity, location, device compliance status, and resource context prior to granting session access.
- Least Privilege AccessRestricting user and service rights using Just-In-Time (JIT) and Just-Enough-Access (JEA) control models.
- Assume BreachIsolating network segments into microperimeters and enforcing ubiquitous encryption for all internal traffic flows.
- Continuous Adaptive MonitoringDynamically re-evaluating risk posture during active sessions and adjusting authorization based on real-time telemetry.
Answer
Explicit Verification corresponds to evaluating identity, location, device compliance, and context before granting access. Least Privilege Access corresponds to restricting rights using Just-In-Time and Just-Enough-Access models. Assume Breach corresponds to limiting lateral movement using microsegmentation and internal network encryption. Continuous Adaptive Monitoring corresponds to re-evaluating risk and adjusting access dynamically during active sessions.
Zero Trust Architecture principles establish explicit enforcement boundaries: Explicit Verification validates identity and posture upfront; Least Privilege Access applies JIT/JEA controls to restrict permission scope; Assume Breach utilizes microsegmentation and encryption to limit blast radius; and Continuous Adaptive Monitoring dynamically re-evaluates active session telemetry.
