Identity, Access, and Cryptography Practice Question

Question

A learner is comparing two similar concepts for the CompTIA Security+ involving SAML federation in Identity, Access, and Cryptography. Which answer is best? (Item 56)

Answer choices

1. A. Choose the option that sounds familiar even if it does not fit the scenario.
2. B. Use the most complex option even when a simpler compliant action directly solves the problem.
3. C. Apply a rule from a different domain even though the exam objective is different.
4. D. The best answer is to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations for the SAML federation scenario.

Correct Answer

D. The best answer is to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations for the SAML federation scenario.

Explanation

The correct answer is D because SAML federation is tested by asking candidates to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations. The distractors reflect common exam mistakes: ignoring context, using informal shortcuts, skipping verification, or applying a rule from the wrong domain.
