Identity, Access, and Cryptography Practice Question

Question

A scenario includes a common misconception for the CompTIA Security+ involving zero trust in Identity, Access, and Cryptography. What should the candidate understand? (Item 108)

Answer choices

1. A. Use the most complex option even when a simpler compliant action directly solves the problem.
2. B. Apply a rule from a different domain even though the exam objective is different.
3. C. Choose the option that sounds familiar even if it does not fit the scenario.
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.
