Security Architecture and Design Practice Question

Question

A real-world workflow requires a practical decision for the CompTIA Security+ involving zero trust in Security Architecture and Design. What should the candidate understand? (Item 208)

Answer choices

1. A. Ignore the issue because speed is more important than documentation or accuracy.
2. B. Assume the requirement applies only when the customer specifically asks about it.
3. C. Prioritize convenience over safety, compliance, or accurate reasoning.
4. D. The best answer is to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations for the zero trust scenario.

Correct Answer

D. The best answer is to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations for the zero trust scenario.

Explanation

The correct answer is D because zero trust is tested by asking candidates to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations. The distractors reflect common exam mistakes: ignoring context, using informal shortcuts, skipping verification, or applying a rule from the wrong domain.
