Which capability of a Zero-Trust segmentation platform uses a combination of anti-malware, intrusion prevention, and cyberthreat prevention technologies to provide comprehensive protection against both known and unknown threats, including threats on mobile devices?

• Inspection of all traffic

• Secure access

• Least privilege access control

• True

• False

Which of the following is not a benefit of implementing a Zero-Trust network?
