Why each option
To minimize user management while maximizing security for a SaaS solution with a large user base, implementing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and Single Sign-On (SSO) is the most effective approach. MFA enhances security by requiring multiple verification methods, and SSO streamlines access while reducing the need for individual credential management.
MFA significantly enhances security by requiring users to provide two or more verification factors to gain access, making it much harder for unauthorized users to compromise accounts even if they obtain a password, directly addressing the 'as secure as possible' requirement.
ACLs define permissions for specific resources but do not primarily minimize user management or enhance authentication security at the user logon level across a SaaS solution.
While AAA is a framework that encompasses authentication and authorization, it's a broad concept, and SSO and MFA are specific technologies that directly address the question's requirements more precisely than AAA itself.
SSO allows users to authenticate once and gain access to multiple independent software systems without re-authenticating, drastically minimizing user management overhead and improving the user experience for a large user base, meeting both the 'minimize user management' and indirectly the 'secure access' requirement by centralizing authentication.
NAC controls device access to a network based on compliance and security posture, which is not directly focused on minimizing user management or enhancing user login security for a SaaS application itself.
