Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

When preparing to implement ZTA, some changes may be required in the organization's governance, compliance, risk management, and operations.These components are essential for ensuring a successful implementation of ZTA, as they involve the following aspects12:

Governance: This refers to the establishment of a clear vision, strategy, and roadmap for ZTA, as well as the definition of roles, responsibilities, and authorities for ZTA stakeholders. Governance also involves the alignment of ZTA with the organization's mission, goals, and objectives, and the communication and collaboration among ZTA teams and other business units.

Compliance: This refers to the adherence to the relevant laws, regulations, standards, and policies that apply to the organization's ZTA. Compliance also involves the identification and mitigation of any legal or contractual risks or issues that may arise from ZTA implementation, such as data privacy, security, and sovereignty.

Risk management: This refers to the assessment and management of the risks associated with ZTA implementation, such as technical, operational, financial, or reputational risks. Risk management also involves the development and implementation of risk mitigation strategies, controls, and metrics, as well as the monitoring and reporting of risk status and performance.

Operations: This refers to the execution and maintenance of the ZTA processes, technologies, and services, as well as the integration and interoperability of ZTA with the existing IT infrastructure and systems. Operations also involve the optimization and improvement of ZTA efficiency and effectiveness, as well as the resolution of any operational issues or incidents.

Ah, this is a tricky one. There are a few different admin roles mentioned, and I'm not sure which one is specifically responsible for the ZT policies. I'll have to review my notes and try to eliminate the options.

Okay, let me see. The key here is understanding the continual improvement model for ZT. I remember from the readings that policy administrators are the ones who define and update the ZT policies, so that's likely the right answer.

Option C looks like the clear violation here. Sharing confidential information, even with a friend, goes against the principle of confidentiality.
