Question 1 of 30
In a corporate environment, a network security engineer is tasked with designing a secure architecture for a multi-tier application that handles sensitive customer data. The application consists of a web tier, an application tier, and a database tier. The engineer decides to implement a Zero Trust security model, which requires strict identity verification for every person and device attempting to access resources on the network. Given this scenario, which of the following strategies would best enhance the security posture of the application while adhering to the principles of Zero Trust?
Implementing micro-segmentation to isolate each tier of the application and enforce strict access controls based on user identity and device health.
Utilizing a traditional perimeter firewall to protect the network from external threats while allowing unrestricted access to internal users.
Deploying a single sign-on (SSO) solution that allows users to access all tiers of the application with one set of credentials, regardless of their location or device.
Enabling VPN access for all employees to ensure secure connections to the corporate network from remote locations.
