Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals SC-900 Practice Question
A company adopting Microsoft's Zero Trust approach decides that every user and device must be authenticated and authorized for each access attempt, even when the request originates from inside the corporate network. Which core Zero Trust principle does this decision illustrate?
Microsoft's Zero Trust model is built on three core principles:
Verify explicitly (often summarized as "never trust, always verify"): require authentication and authorization for every access request, no matter where it comes from.
Use least-privileged access: grant only the permissions that are needed and nothing more.
Assume breach: design systems as if an attacker is already present and limit blast radius. Because the scenario describes authenticating every user and device-even those on the internal network-it exemplifies the verify explicitly principle. The other options represent different principles or unrelated security ideas.
