CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 710

A security proposal was set up to track requests for remote access by creating a baseline of the users' common sign-in properties. When a baseline deviation is detected, an MFA challenge will be triggered. Which of the following should be configured in order to deploy the proposal?

Answer options

• A. Context-aware authentication
• B. Simultaneous authentication of equals
• C. Extensive authentication protocol
• D. Agentless network access control

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Context-aware authentication is designed to evaluate user behavior and context, allowing it to identify deviations from established baselines and trigger MFA challenges appropriately. The other options do not specifically focus on monitoring user sign-in properties or responding to deviations in real-time, making them unsuitable for this specific requirement.
