CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 368

A group of developers has a shared backup account to access the source code repository. Which of the following is best way to secure the backup account if there is an SSO failure?

Answer options

• A. RAS
• B. EAP
• C. SAML
• D. PAM

Correct answer: D

Explanation

PAM (Privileged Access Management) is designed to secure, manage, and monitor access to critical systems, making it the best option for protecting a shared backup account during an SSO failure. RAS, EAP, and SAML serve different purposes related to remote access, authentication methods, and identity federation, and thus do not provide the necessary security for managing backup account access.
