CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 122

During the onboarding process, an employee needs to create a password for an intranet account. The password must include ten characters, numbers, and letters, and two special characters. Once the password is created, the company will grant the employee access to other company-owned websites based on the intranet profile. Which of the following access management concepts is the company most likely using to safeguard intranet accounts and grant access to multiple sites based on a user's intranet account? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Federation
• B. Identity proofing
• C. Password complexity
• D. Default password changes
• E. Password manager
• F. Open authentication

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

The correct answers are A and C. Federation allows for single sign-on access across multiple services, while password complexity ensures that passwords meet certain criteria for strength, thereby enhancing security. The other options do not directly relate to the management of access across multiple sites based on a single account.
