A municipality is modernizing identity: a central directory, MFA for remote access, and federation to cloud SaaS used by multiple departments. What implementation priority best keeps those pieces coherent?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Directory, MFA, and federation are a trio, not three science-fair projects. Point apps at one identity story with MFA and federation so nobody invents yet another password island.
Full Explanation
Implementing authentication systems means aligning directory services, strong authentication (MFA), and federation or SSO so policy, identity proofing, and lifecycle remain consistent across on-prem and SaaS. Per-app password silos and shared local admins fragment control. Pausing all MFA until every legacy app is rewritten leaves remote access exposed longer than necessary when compensating controls and phased rollout are available.
