If Leonidas's organization is one that is primarily made up of off-site, traveling users, what availability risk does integration of critical business applications to on-site authentication create, and how could he solve it?
Answer Options
Third-party integration may not be trustworthy; use SSL and digital signatures.
If the home organization is offline, traveling users won't be able to access third-party applications; implement a hybrid cloud/local authentication system.
Local users may not be properly redirected to the third-party services; implement a local gateway.
Browsers may not properly redirect; use host files to ensure that issues with redirects are resolved.
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
Integration with cloud-based third parties that rely on local authentication can fail if the local organization's Internet connectivity or servers are offline. Adopting a hybrid cloud and local authentication system can ensure that Internet or server outages are handled, allowing authentication to work regardless of where the user is or if their home organization is online. Using encrypted and signed communication does not address availability, redirects are a configuration issue with the third party, and a local gateway won't handle remote users. Also, host files don't help with availability issues with services other than DNS.
