0Charles 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.
