A network architect is designing a solution to secure the organization's applications based on the security policy. The requirements are:

Users must authenticate using one set of credentials.

External users must be located in authorized sites.

Session timeouts must be enforced.

Network access requirements should be changed as needed.

Which of the following best meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B, E

Single sign-on: Provides users with one set of credentials for authentication across all applications, simplifying access and reducing password fatigue.

Conditional access policy: Enforces location-based restrictions for external users, configurable session timeouts, and dynamic network access controls that can be updated as requirements evolve.

Wait, can external users really be restricted by location? Seems tricky.

Multifactor authentication seems important for security, but I’m not sure if it meets all the requirements listed in the question.

Conditional access policy sounds relevant here, especially for enforcing site restrictions and changing access requirements, but I’m not completely confident.

I remember practicing a similar question where role-based access was mentioned, but I don't think it directly addresses the session timeout requirement.

I think single sign-on could be a good choice since it allows users to authenticate with one set of credentials, but I'm not sure about the other option.

This is a tricky one, but I'll focus on the requirements around single credentials, session timeouts, and the ability to change network access as needed.

I'm feeling confident about this one. The key is to identify the solutions that provide both user authentication and access control based on location and other factors.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The requirements seem to cover a lot of different security concepts, so I'll need to review each option closely.

Haha, imagine if they went with D - multifactor authentication. Might as well make the users do cartwheels to log in!

Hmm, I'm not sure about C. Static IP allocation doesn't really address the need for changing network access requirements. Definitely B and E.
