Q

❌An employee connects to the company network remotely from a public Wi-Fi hotspot. Despite using a VPN, unauthorized access to company resources occurs.
Which aspect of zero-trust architecture could have prevented this unauthorized access?
-
Implicit trust in network connection
Trusting network location
Role-based access control
Zero trust network access (ZTNA)

A

Correct: That’s right! Zero trust network access (ZTNA) ensures that access to applications and resources is dynamically granted based on identity, device security posture, and other contextual factors, regardless of network location, which could have prevented unauthorized access in this scenario.

Q

When mapping the OSI model to the TCP/IP model, what is true about the way in which layers are mapped?
Instruction: Choose all options that best answer the question.
The application, internet, and network layers of the OSI model are mapped on a one-to-one basis with the corresponding application, transport, and internet layers of the TCP/IP model respectively
The session and presentation layers of the OSI model are incorporated into the application layer of the TCP/IP model
The transport and network layers of the TCP/IP model are incorporated into the data link layer of the OSI model
The data link and the physical layer of the OSI model are incorporated into the link layer of the TCP/IP model

A

The session and presentation layers of the OSI model are incorporated into the application layer of the TCP/IP model ✅
The data link and the physical layer of the OSI model are incorporated into the link layer of the TCP/IP model ✅
