Question:
Directions (Q. 16 – 20): Read the following passage carefully and answer the question that follows:
In modern computer networks, cybersecurity has emerged as a fundamental pillar of national security and economic stability. As organizations transition critical operations to cloud infrastructures, the attack surface expands exponentially. Among the prevalent cyber threats, Ransomware attacks have caused unprecedented disruption to healthcare, municipal services, and global supply chains. A ransomware attack typically encrypts sensitive data and demands cryptocurrency payments for decryption keys. To mitigate these pervasive threats, organizations adopt Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA), which operates on the tenet “never trust, always verify”, enforcing continuous multi-factor authentication and micro-segmentation.
According to the passage, what is the core tenet of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA)?

According to the passage, what is the core tenet of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA)?
Options:
- Social engineering and spear-phishing emails
- Direct brute force password cracking
- Physical hardware theft
- Radio frequency interference
- सोशल इंजीनियरिंग और स्पीयर-फ़िशिंग ईमेल द्वारा
- प्रत्यक्ष ब्रूट फोर्स पासवर्ड क्रैकिंग द्वारा
- हार्डवेयर की भौतिक चोरी द्वारा
- रेडियो फ्रीक्वेंसी व्यवधान द्वारा
Correct Answer: a)
Explanation:
The passage explicitly states: ‘A ransomware attack typically commences through social engineering tactics, such as deceptive spear-phishing emails containing malicious attachments…’ (Option a).
गद्यांश में स्पष्ट लिखा है कि रैनसमवेयर हमले सोशल इंजीनियरिंग तकनीकों और स्पीयर-फ़िशिंग ईमेल से शुरू होते हैं (विकल्प a)।
