Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Use privileged identity management (PIM) for just-in-time access
Why this is correct
PIM provides time-bound access to privileged roles.
- ✗
Trust all traffic from within the corporate network
Why it's wrong here
Zero trust assumes no implicit trust even inside the network.
- ✗
Grant permanent administrative privileges for convenience
Why it's wrong here
Permanent privileges violate least privilege; zero trust uses just-in-time access.
- ✓
Require multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all cloud access
Why this is correct
MFA is a core zero-trust control.
- ✓
Implement conditional access policies based on user and device posture
Why this is correct
Conditional access enforces policies based on context.
