While specifying technology components for a Zero Trust multi-agent solution in a regulated industry, which combination best addresses per-agent identity scoping and lateral movement prevention?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Correct answer: D. Zero Trust multi-agent design assumes the research agent will get phished someday—so it must not be able to wear the settlement agent’s badge. Per-agent identity, segmented tools, and no shared credentials are how you stop lateral movement.
Full Explanation
Specifying Zero Trust multi-agent components includes per-agent identity scoping, lateral movement prevention, and compliance control mapping. Option D enumerates those controls: distinct identities, least privilege, segmented tools/network, and no peer credential reuse.
Options A–C each create shared trust that enables lateral movement (shared principals, implicit internal trust, shared DB logins) and are incorrect for regulated Zero Trust designs.
Exam tip: Any answer that shares one identity or secrets bag across agents is almost always wrong on Zero Trust items.
