Why each option
To ensure user non-repudiation, the cloud provider and customer must implement a client-to-site VPN which creates a secure, auditable connection from a specific client.
Server certificates authenticate the server to the client, ensuring the client connects to the legitimate server, but do not provide proof of a user's actions for non-repudiation.
Client-to-site VPNs provide a secure, authenticated, and encrypted tunnel for a user's device to connect to the cloud environment. This setup allows for logging and auditing of the specific client's IP and connection, making it much harder for a user to deny having performed an action, thus ensuring non-repudiation for actions originating from that client over the VPN.
Two-factor authentication verifies a user's identity during login, but it doesn't inherently log or secure the connection in a way that provides non-repudiation for specific actions performed after authentication.
Single sign-on (SSO) simplifies user access by allowing one set of credentials for multiple services, but it does not inherently provide non-repudiation for specific user actions once logged in.
