The ZT tenet of assume breach is based on the notion that malicious actors reside inside and outside the network, and that any user, device, or service can be compromised at any time.

Wait, is 'Requiring continuous monitoring' even a real Zero Trust tenet? That sounds like something my grandma would come up with. 'Assume breach' is clearly the way to go.

Haha, 'Requiring continuous monitoring'? Seriously? Might as well just unplug the whole network and live in a cave. 'Assume breach' all the way, baby!

Hmm, this is a tough call. 'Scrutinize explicitly' sounds like it could be the right answer, but 'Assume breach' just makes more sense to me. Can't be too careful with all these hackers out there!

'Scrutinize explicitly' may sound good, but 'Assume breach' is definitely the way to go in today's cyber environment.

I'm feeling confident about this one. Gotta be 'Assume a hostile environment' - that's the foundation of Zero Trust, right? Can't trust anyone or anything these days.

Ooh, this is a tricky one! I'd have to go with 'Assume breach' - the whole idea of Zero Trust is that you can't trust anything, even if it's inside your network.
