Charles wants to reduce the threat scope of compromised credentials. What type of the following security controls is best suited to meeting this need?

Answer Options

A

Single sign-on

B

Federation

C

Zero trust

D

Multifactor authentication (MFA)

Correct Answer: C

Explanation

Zero trust designs implement continuous verification, which is an effective control used to limit the threat scope of compromised credentials. While multifactor authentication can be a useful control in this circumstance, a fully implemented zero-trust design will provide greater control than just MFA alone. Single sign-on and federation are both likely to increase threat scope in a compromised credential scenario.
