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 sector’s disruptions by ransomware attacks are explicitly mentioned in the passage?

Which sector’s disruptions by ransomware attacks are explicitly mentioned in the passage?
Options:
- Never trust, always verify
- Trust but verify occasionally
- Trust all authenticated internal users
- Assume hardware is fully reliable
- कभी भरोसा न करें, हमेशा सत्यापित करें (Never trust, always verify)
- भरोसा करें लेकिन कभी-कभार जाँचें
- सभी प्रमाणित आंतरिक उपयोगकर्ताओं पर भरोसा करें
- यह मान लें कि हार्डवेयर पूरी तरह विश्वसनीय है
Correct Answer: a)
Explanation:
The passage states that Zero Trust operates under the fundamental maxim of ‘never trust, always verify’ (Option a).
गद्यांश के अनुसार ज़ीरो ट्रस्ट का मूल सिद्धांत ‘never trust, always verify’ (कभी भरोसा न करें, हमेशा सत्यापित करें) है (विकल्प a)।
