100-160 Question 98
Single answerA company's IT department is implementing secure access technologies to protect sensitive internal resources. They have decided to use a solution that limits user access based on their job roles and responsibilities. Which of the following technologies best aligns with this approach?
- A
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
- B
Single Sign-On (SSO)
- C
Virtual Private Network (VPN)
- D
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The scenario describes a need to limit access to resources based on job roles and responsibilities, which is the purpose of Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). While SSO, VPN, and MFA are important secure access technologies, they do not specifically provide the role-based access management described in the scenario.
- A. Correct.
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is designed to restrict access to systems and data based on a user's role within the organization, making it the best fit for the scenario.
- B. Incorrect.
Single Sign-On (SSO) simplifies user authentication by allowing access to multiple applications using one set of credentials, but it does not inherently limit access based on job roles.
- C. Incorrect.
Virtual Private Network (VPN) provides secure remote access to a network, but it does not manage access permissions based on roles or responsibilities.
- D. Incorrect.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) enhances security by requiring multiple forms of verification to access systems but does not address access restrictions based on roles.
