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.
Which security measures are enforced under Zero Trust Architecture according to the passage?

Which security measures are enforced under Zero Trust Architecture according to the passage?
Options:
- Disproportionate power/advantage between attackers and defenders
- Geometrically irregular
- Easily predictable and balanced
- Harmonious and equal
- हमलावरों और बचावकर्ताओं के बीच असमान शक्ति या असंतुलित लाभ
- ज्यामितीय रूप से अनियमित
- आसानी से अनुमान लगाने योग्य और संतुलित
- समान और सममित
Correct Answer: a)
Explanation:
Asymmetrical threats in cybersecurity denote warfare/conflict where a small attacker with few resources can inflict immense disruption on a large institution (Option a).
साइबर सुरक्षा में असममित (Asymmetrical) खतरे का अर्थ है जहाँ हमलावर कम संसाधनों के साथ भी किसी बड़े संगठन को भारी नुकसान पहुँचा सकते हैं (विकल्प a)।
