A municipal architecture board decides that no network location is trusted by default and that every request to cloud resources must be verified continuously. Which security approach are they adopting?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Sitting on the city hall LAN is not a free VIP pass anymore—every request still has to prove who it is and whether it should proceed. That continuous verify-everything mindset is Zero Trust. Old 'inside equals trusted' habits are exactly what this approach retires.
Full Explanation
Zero Trust assumes no inherent trust based on network location; each request is authenticated, authorized, and continuously evaluated against policy. Implicit trust for VPN or LAN ranges and perimeter-only checks that never revalidate identity conflict with that model. Cloud security best practices in Cloud+ include Zero Trust design for access to cloud workloads and management planes.
