CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 135

An organization just went through a substantial audit, and the top findings were orphaned and inactive privileged accounts. Given the scenario, which of the following would be the BEST method for addressing these findings?

Answer options

• A. SSO with federation integration
• B. ACLs and permissions verification
• C. Multifactor authentication
• D. Time-bound, just-in-time account provisioning

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The best way to address orphaned and inactive privileged accounts is through SSO with federation integration, which centralizes and manages access more effectively. While ACLs and permissions verification, multifactor authentication, and time-bound provisioning are important security measures, they do not specifically target the issue of managing and eliminating orphaned accounts as directly as SSO does.
