Question: 1

According to NIST, what are the key mechanisms for defining,

managing, and enforcing policies in a ZTA?

APolicy decision point (PDP), policy enforcement point (PEP), and
policy information point (PIP)

BData access policy, public key infrastructure (PKI), and identity and
access management (IAM)

CControl plane, data plane, and application plane

DPolicy engine (PE), policy administrator (PA), and policy broker (PB)
According to NIST, the key mechanisms for defining, managing, and enforcing policies in a ZTA are the policy decision point (PDP), the policy enforcement point (PEP), and the policy information point (PIP). The PDP is the component that evaluates the policies and the contextual data collected from various sources and generates an access decision. The PEP is the component that enforces the access decision on the resource. The PIP is the component that provides the contextual data to the PDP, such as the user identity, the device posture, the network location, the resource attributes, and the environmental factors.

Answer: A

Question: 2

Which component in a ZTA is responsible for deciding whether to

grant access to a resource?

AThe policy enforcement point (PEP)

BThe policy administrator (PA)

CThe policy engine (PE)

DThe policy component
The policy engine (PE) is the component in a ZTA that is responsible for deciding whether to grant access to a resource. The PE evaluates the policies and the contextual data collected from various sources, such as the user identity, the device posture, the network location, the resource attributes, and the environmental factors, and then generates an access decision. The PE communicates the access decision to the policy enforcement point (PEP), which enforces the decision on the resource.

Question: 3

What should an organization's data and asset classification be based on?

ALocation of data

BHistory of data

CSensitivity of data

DRecovery of data
Data and asset classification should be based on the sensitivity of data, which is the degree to which the data requires protection from unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure. Data sensitivity is determined by the potential impact of data loss, theft, or corruption on the organization, its customers, and its partners. Data sensitivity can also be influenced by legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations.

Question: 4

During the monitoring and analytics phase of ZT transaction flows,

organizations should collect statistics and profile the behavior of

transactions. What does this support in the ZTA?

ACreating firewall policies to protect data in motion

BA continuous assessment of all transactions

CFeeding transaction logs into a log monitoring engine

DThe monitoring of relevant data in critical areas
During the monitoring and analytics phase of ZT transaction flows, organizations should collect statistics and profile the behavior of transactions to support a continuous assessment of all transactions. A continuous assessment of all transactions means that the organization constantly evaluates the security posture, performance, and compliance of each transaction, and detects and responds to any anomalies, deviations, or threats. A continuous assessment of all transactions helps to maintain a high level of protection and resilience in the ZTA, and enables the organization to adjust and improve the policies and controls accordingly.

Question: 5

To respond quickly to changes while implementing ZT Strategy, an

organization requires a mindset and culture of

Alearning and growth.

Bcontinuous risk evaluation and policy adjustment.

Ccontinuous process improvement.

Dproject governance.
To respond quickly to changes while implementing ZT Strategy, an organization requires a mindset and culture of continuous risk evaluation and policy adjustment. This means that the organization should constantly monitor the threat landscape, assess the security posture, and update the policies and controls accordingly to maintain a high level of protection and resilience. The organization should also embrace feedback, learning, and improvement as part of the ZT journey.
