Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) — Question 346

What is a benefit of using a multifactor authentication strategy?

Answer options

• A. It provides an easy, single sign-on experience against multiple applications
• B. It provides secure remote access for applications
• C. It protects data by enabling the use of a second validation of identity
• D. It provides visibility into devices to establish device trust

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, is accurate because multifactor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second form of identity verification, which helps protect sensitive data. Options A and B focus on access convenience and security but do not address the identity validation aspect, while D pertains to device visibility, which is not a primary function of multifactor authentication.
