Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals SC-900 Practice Question
Your company plans to adopt Microsoft's Zero Trust security model. Leadership asks what principle under this model drives the requirement that every access request-whether from inside or outside the corporate network-must be authenticated and authorized using all available signals. Which Zero Trust principle are they referring to?
The Zero Trust model is built on three core principles: verify explicitly, use least-privileged access, and assume breach. The mandate to authenticate and authorize every access attempt based on all available signals-such as user identity, location, and device health-directly aligns with the "verify explicitly" principle. While least-privilege focuses on limiting permissions and assume breach focuses on containment and monitoring, verify explicitly requires continuous validation before granting access, even to internal requests. "Shift-left security" is a software-development concept and is not one of the formal Zero Trust principles.
