0When Sofia attempts to authenticate to her organization's services, she knows that the organization uses a mobile device management tool to check her location and whether she's logging in from her company-issued mobile device. What type of authentication is this?
Answer Options
A
Context-aware
B
Knowledge-based
C
Identity factoring
D
Zero trust
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
Authentication that takes attributes such as location, device, and time of day into account is context-aware authentication. This allows organizations to make choices about whether the authentication is appropriate and allowed in addition to the use of credentials. The decision is based on contextual information, not user knowledge or identity factors, which are used only to authenticate. Zero trust may leverage context information, but context-aware authentication alone does not indicate zero trust.
