Which of the following BEST prevents control gaps in the Zero Trust model when implementing in the environment?
Correct Answer: C
Zero Trust Model:
* Zero Trust security model assumes that threats can exist both inside and outside the network. Every access request must be authenticated, authorized, and encrypted.
Preventing Control Gaps:
* A robust technical architecture ensures comprehensive and consistent security controls across the entire network.
* It integrates various security measures, such as microsegmentation, strong authentication, continuous monitoring, and least privilege access, to create a unified defense strategy.
Other Options:
* Relying on Multiple Solutions: Can lead to fragmentation and inconsistencies in security controls.
* Utilizing Rapid Development: May introduce vulnerabilities if security is not properly integrated.
* Starting with a Large Initial Scope: Can be overwhelming and difficult to manage effectively, leading to potential gaps.
