CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 250

The Chief Executive Officer announced a new partnership with a strategic vendor and asked the Chief Information Security Officer to federate user digital identities using SAML-based protocols. Which of the following will this enable?

Answer options

• A. SSO
• B. MFA
• C. PKI
• D. DLP

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Using SAML-based protocols allows for Single Sign-On (SSO), enabling users to authenticate once and access multiple applications without needing to log in repeatedly. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) are related security concepts but do not directly stem from the implementation of SAML for federating identities.
