350-701 Cloud Security Practice Question
An organization is adopting zero trust principles for cloud access. Which THREE measures are essential for implementing identity-centric security? (Choose three.)
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Conditional access policies based on user, device, and location
Zero trust relies on strong identity verification: MFA, privileged identity management (PIM) for just-in-time access, and conditional access policies that enforce context-based controls. VPN and network segmentation are network-centric, not identity-centric.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Site-to-site VPN for connectivity
Why it's wrong here
VPN is not identity-centric; it assumes network trust.
- ✓
Conditional access policies based on user, device, and location
Why this is correct
Conditional access enforces policies dynamically based on identity context.
- ✗
Network segmentation using VLANs
Why it's wrong here
Segmentation is network-centric, not identity-centric.
- ✓
Privileged Identity Management (PIM) with just-in-time access
Why this is correct
PIM limits privilege escalation and enforces time-bound access.
- ✓
Multi-factor authentication for all users
Why this is correct
MFA strengthens identity verification.
