Question $9(1$ point$)$

St Lawrence County Power operates a network of power plants facing the risk of cyberattacks that could disrupt power generation and distribution, leading to widespread outages. The organization is considering implementing various cybersecurity measures, including adopting a zero$-$trust security architecture.

Which of the following best illustrates the application of zero trust in the context of this scenario?

Continuously monitoring network traffic and user behavior for anomalous activity, indicating potential cyberattacks that require immediate investigation and response.

Implementing multi$-$factor authentication $($MFA$)$ for all users accessing power plant control systems, requiring additional verification beyond just username and password.

Employing network segmentation to isolate power plant control systems from other networks, reducing the attack surface and minimizing the potential spread of cyberattacks.
