ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question
A development team must allow partner organizations to access its new customer portal without creating local accounts. Each partner should continue to authenticate its own users, but the portal must recognize those identities and provide seamless single sign-on. Which secure architecture pattern best satisfies this requirement?
Deploy micro-segmentation to isolate partner traffic into separate network zones for access control.
Adopt the SABSA framework to map business drivers to layered security services for the portal.
Implement federated identity with standards such as SAML to consume partner authentication assertions.
Apply the security chain of responsibility so each application layer validates user privileges in turn.
Federated identity enables separate security domains to accept each other's authentication assertions, typically through standards such as SAML, OAuth, or OpenID Connect. This allows partners to keep control of their user stores while the portal relies on the provided token to establish a local session, achieving single sign-on without duplicating credentials. The security chain of responsibility addresses accountability within layered components, SABSA is a comprehensive framework rather than a specific identity pattern, and micro-segmentation focuses on network isolation rather than cross-domain authentication.
