Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals SC-900 Practice Question
During a security awareness session, you explain that Microsoft recommends placing complementary controls at successive layers-physical, perimeter, network, host, application, and data-so that if one control fails, the remaining layers still protect the workload. Which security strategy does this description represent?
The scenario describes defense in depth, a strategy that applies coordinated security controls at multiple layers. Each layer (for example, physical, perimeter, network, identity, host, application, and data) provides an additional barrier. If an attacker compromises one layer, the remaining layers continue to limit movement and protect assets. Zero Trust focuses on continuous verification, the shared responsibility model divides duties between provider and customer, and encrypting data in transit is only one control, not an overall strategy.
