26 Questions
What is the primary idea behind the perimeter-based security architecture?
To trust devices inside the network and not trust devices outside
Which components protect the network perimeter in a perimeter-based security architecture?
Firewalls, IDS, DMZ
What is the purpose of using VPN in a perimeter-based security architecture?
To provide secure remote access to external users and devices
Why have many flaws related to network security been identified in the perimeter-based architecture model over the past decade?
Due to the implicit trust granted once inside the network
How is access granted to external users and devices in a perimeter-based security architecture?
Through virtual private networks (VPN)
What is a key characteristic of the trust approach in a perimeter-based security architecture?
Implicit trust is granted inside the network
In the Zero Trust Extended Framework by Forrester, which pillar focuses on securing workloads?
Fifth pillar
What is one of the key actions recommended for securing zero trust devices according to the text?
Detect and prevent spoofing attacks
Which aspect is emphasized in securing zero trust networks according to the ZTX framework?
Segmenting assets into subnets
What practice is advised in securing zero trust people according to the text?
Continuously monitor user validation and permissions
What is a recommended method to secure zero trust workloads based on the ZTX framework?
Use policy-based API inspection and control
In the context of zero trust networks, what does microsegmentation primarily aim to achieve?
Group devices with similar access requirements together
Which factor is highlighted in securing zero trust data according to the ZTX framework?
Categorizing and classifying data accurately
What is a key consideration for securing zero trust extended framework according to the text?
Integrating disparate security solutions across devices
What is a key focus area for organizations regarding zero trust extended framework automation and orchestration?
Shortening incident response times through automation.
How do organizations achieve visibility and analytics in zero trust extended framework operations?
By deploying SAO technologies and enabling end-to-end data visibility.
What is the main challenge with legacy security architecture according to the text?
Inadequate visibility of BYOD and IoT devices
What does Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) mandate enterprises to do?
Create microperimeters of control around their sensitive data assets
What is the role of VPNs in legacy security architecture according to the text?
Allowing access to the corporate network without full visibility
What is the significance of minimal access in Zero Trust Architecture?
Providing users with only required privileges
Why is it challenging to apply endpoint protection platform (EPP) to IoT devices?
EPP lacks the capability to be installed on IoT devices
How does Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) view network perimeters?
Abolishes the idea of a trusted network inside a defined corporate perimeter
What is the real challenge posed by headless devices in terms of security?
Endpoint protection platforms cannot be installed on them
What does 'Assume breach' mean in the context of Zero Trust Architecture?
'Assume breach' involves pretending the network is already compromised
What does Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) suggest about access permissions?
Applying least privilege access for users and devices
Why is it crucial to have network visibility for BYOD and IoT devices?
To analyze and track potentially vulnerable devices and malware infiltration
Test your knowledge about the traditional approach of perimeter-based security architecture where the entire network is on premises, like corporate data centres. Learn about components such as firewall, IDS, DMZ, and VPN used for remote access.
