Match each Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) logical component defined in NIST SP 800-207 to its primary operational responsibility.
- Policy Engine (PE)Evaluates enterprise trust policies and contextual signals to make the ultimate decision to grant or deny resource access.
- Policy Administrator (PA)Operates within the control plane to issue session credentials, configure communication paths, and signal gateways.
- Policy Enforcement Point (PEP)Resides in the data plane to actively intercept, enable, monitor, or terminate connection sessions between subjects and resources.
Cevap
The Policy Engine is responsible for evaluation and authorization decisions; the Policy Administrator handles control plane management and session credential signaling; the Policy Enforcement Point actively enforces access controls directly within the data plane.
According to NIST SP 800-207 Zero Trust Architecture, the Policy Engine handles the decision logic, the Policy Administrator handles control plane orchestrations and session keys, and the Policy Enforcement Point performs data plane enforcement directly on connections.
