Questions and Answers

What is a crucial consideration when implementing alternative components to avoid dependencies according to the text?

  • Relying heavily on dynamic access infrastructure
  • Deriving access credentials only from SSO
  • Ensuring they have a wide feature set
  • Reliability requiring different security solutions (correct)

Why can't remote access credentials depend on typical credential services?

  • They are issued proactively on a fixed schedule
  • They use federated identity providers exclusively
  • The dependencies they rely on may be unavailable (correct)
  • They depend on emergency access technologies

What risk management tradeoff is mentioned in the text regarding the lifetime of access credentials?

  • Choosing short-term credentials to avoid outages
  • Issuing credentials on demand at the start of an outage
  • Expanding credentials' lifetime to exceed anticipated outages (correct)
  • Balancing feature set with convenience
