Episode 28 — Use Cybersecurity Models to Think Clearly: Defense Layers and Zero Trust (Task 4)
This episode teaches how to use cybersecurity models as thinking tools that improve decision-making in both exam scenarios and real incidents. You will learn how layered defense concepts help you identify where a control failed, where detection should have occurred, and which compensating controls reduce blast radius when prevention is bypassed. We will explain Zero Trust as a practical approach centered on identity, device posture, least privilege, and continuous verification, not as a product label. You will also hear examples of applying these models to cloud access, remote work, and service-to-service communication, where trust boundaries can be unclear. The exam often tests your ability to recommend controls that fit the model’s principles, such as reducing implicit trust and validating access continuously with strong evidence.
