Which of these is a defense-in-depth strategy principle?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Defense-in-depth is a layered security strategy that aims to protect information and resources through multiple security measures.

One of its key principles is the concept of least privilege, which means providing users and systems with the minimum level of access necessary to perform their job functions.

By assigning only the necessary permissions, the attack surface is reduced, and the potential damage from a compromised account or system is minimized.

This principle helps in mitigating the risk of unauthorized access and limits the capabilities of an attacker if they gain access to an account.

Ah, I remember learning about defense-in-depth in class. It's all about having multiple layers of security to protect against different types of threats. I think option B, "Assign the least network privileges to segment network permissions," is the best answer here. That sounds like it aligns with the defense-in-depth principle.

I'm a little confused by this question. None of these options seem like they're directly related to the defense-in-depth strategy. I might have to guess on this one or try to eliminate the options that are clearly not correct.

Okay, let's see. Defense-in-depth is about having redundant security controls, right? I think option B, "Assign the least network privileges to segment network permissions," sounds like it could be the right answer. I'll mark that one down.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know defense-in-depth is about having multiple layers of security, but I'm not sure which of these options best fits that description. I'll have to think it through carefully.

Cloud Endpoints seems like the obvious choice here. It's specifically designed for building and managing RESTful APIs, which is exactly what HipLocal needs for their public APIs. I'm confident this is the right answer.
