An organization has established an authentication system integrated with their local Windows Active Directory (AD) for user login. What approach can significantly strengthen this authentication system against unauthorized access?
Relying on usernames and passwords
Setting up a single sign-on (SSO) mechanism
Utilizing a password reset tool
Implementing multiple verification methods during login
The correct answer highlights the importance of using multiple verification methods to confirm a user's identity, enhancing security compared to a single form of authentication. This layered approach minimizes risks associated with compromised credentials. Other options like utilizing a password reset tool or relying on usernames and passwords may improve usability but do not provide the same level of security enhancement.
