Surprised this is even a question, it's so obvious!

A is right, but B has its merits too.

Wait, are we sure about that? I thought it was B.

It's definitely A, assume breach!

I feel like "Scrutinize explicitly" could also fit, but I lean towards A since it directly addresses the idea of internal and external threats.

I practiced a similar question, and I think it was about the importance of not trusting anything by default. That sounds like A to me.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about "Assume a hostile environment" being related to this concept too.

I think the answer is A, "Assume breach." It really emphasizes that threats can come from anywhere, right?

This is a tricky one. I'm going to have to review my notes on the ZT tenets to make sure I understand the differences between them. I don't want to guess and risk getting it wrong.

Okay, I think I've got it. The "assume breach" tenet is the one that's based on the idea that there are bad actors both inside and outside the network. That makes sense as a core principle of the zero trust approach.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The options all sound similar, and I'm not totally clear on the differences between the ZT tenets. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This one seems pretty straightforward. The key is to focus on the ZT tenets and figure out which one is based on the idea of malicious actors both inside and outside the network.

"Assume breach" is the answer. That tenet is all about recognizing that the network is already compromised, so you have to continuously verify and validate everything, regardless of where the threats are coming from.

I'm a little confused by the wording of this question. I'll have to re-read it a few times to make sure I understand which tenet it's asking about. Hopefully I can figure it out before time runs out.

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.

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. Therefore, ZT requires continuous verification and validation of all entities and transactions, and does not rely on implicit trust or perimeter-based defenses

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.

Continuous monitoring is crucial to detect any potential threats, both inside and outside the network.

I'm not sure, I think it could also be B) Assume a hostile environment. Malicious actors can come from both inside and outside the network.
