Why each option

The scenario describes Single Sign-On (SSO), where users authenticate once to access multiple cloud services without re-entering credentials.

AMFA

MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) requires users to provide two or more verification factors to gain access, which enhances security but does not specifically enable single authentication for multiple services.

BNTLM

NTLM (NT LAN Manager) is an older suite of Microsoft security protocols that provides authentication, integrity, and confidentiality to users, but it is not specifically designed for cross-service single sign-on.

CKerberos

Kerberos is a network authentication protocol that grants users access to resources after a single authentication, but SSO is a broader concept that can encompass Kerberos or other protocols to achieve single sign-on across diverse services, especially in cloud environments.

DSSOCorrect

Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication scheme that allows a user to log in with a single ID and password to gain access to multiple connected systems or applications. In this scenario, users authenticate once to access all cloud services, eliminating the need for repeated logins across different applications.
