350-701 Question #416: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

What is a benefit of using a multifactor authentication strategy?

Options

• AIt provides visibility into devices to establish device trust.
• BIt provides secure remote access for applications.
• CIt provides an easy, single sign-on experience against multiple applications
• Dlt protects data by enabling the use of a second validation of identity.

Explanation

Multifactor authentication (MFA) protects data by requiring a second form of identity validation.

Common mistakes.

• A. While MFA can contribute to device trust frameworks, its primary benefit is not providing device visibility, which is typically handled by device management or posture assessment tools.
• B. Secure remote access is a common use case for MFA, but the specific benefit of MFA itself is the added layer of identity validation, not the provision of remote access functionality.
• C. MFA introduces an additional authentication step, making the login process inherently less 'easy' than single sign-on (SSO) by adding a security layer.
