CSA CCZT Exam - Topic 4 Question 24 Discussion

Actual exam question for CSA's CCZT exam

Question #: 24
Topic #: 4

[All CCZT Questions]

What steps should organizations take to strengthen access

requirements and protect their resources from unauthorized access

by potential cyber threats?

AUnderstand and identify the data and assets that need to be
protected

BIdentify the relevant architecture capabilities and components that
could impact ZT

CImplement user-based certificates for authentication

DUpdate controls for assets impacted by ZT
The first step that organizations should take to strengthen access requirements and protect their resources from unauthorized access by potential cyber threats is to understand and identify the data and assets that need to be protected. This step involves conducting a data and asset inventory and classification, which helps to determine the value, sensitivity, ownership, and location of the data and assets. By understanding and identifying the data and assets that need to be protected, organizations can define the appropriate access policies and controls based on the Zero Trust principles of never trust, always verify, and assume breach.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Proper risk management should be a key component of any ZT project, especially during implementation and adjustments, because it helps to identify, analyze, evaluate, and treat the potential risks that may affect the ZT and ZTA objectives and outcomes. Proper risk management also helps to prioritize the ZT and ZTA activities and resources based on the risk level and impact, and to monitor and review the risk mitigation strategies and actions.

Okay, I've got this. The key is to start by understanding the data and assets, then look at the authentication and access control measures that can be put in place to protect them.

Hmm, I'm torn between A and B. But I guess you can't really implement the right architecture if you don't know what you're protecting, so A is probably the place to start.
