A security architect is designing a new enterprise network. A key requirement from the business stakeholders is that operations must be able to continue with minimal downtime and data loss, even if a primary system is compromised during a security incident. Which security principle BEST describes this requirement?
The correct answer is resilience. Resilience in security architecture is the ability of an organization to prepare for, withstand, and rapidly recover from security incidents or disruptions. The scenario's focus on maintaining operations with minimal downtime after a compromise directly reflects the principle of resilience. Least privilege is an access control principle, defense in depth is about layered security, and Zero Trust is an architectural model assuming no implicit trust; while these contribute to overall security, resilience specifically addresses the ability to recover and continue operations.
