[All SY0-701 Questions]

A group of developers has a shared backup account to access the source code repository. Which of the following is the best way to secure the backup account if there is an SSO failure?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions enhance security by enforcing strong authentication, rotation of credentials, and access control for shared accounts. This is especially critical in scenarios like SSO failures. Reference: CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 Study Guide, Domain 5: Security Program Management, Section: 'Privileged Access and Identity Management'.

I've used PAM before for privileged access management, so that's the option that stands out to me as the most secure choice here. Definitely going to go with D.

RAS, EAP, SAML - those all sound like potential solutions, but I'm not sure which one is the "best" for this scenario. Gotta read the question carefully.

Okay, let's see. If there's an SSO failure, we'll need a way to authenticate the users separately. I'm thinking PAM might be the best option here.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the different authentication protocols and which one would be best for securing a shared backup account.

Ah, the age-old question of how to secure a backup account. I say we just lock it in a safe and throw away the key. Problem solved!
