Episode 29 — Evaluate cloud single sign-on solutions for security and operational resilience
Notas do episódio
This episode covers how to evaluate cloud single sign-on (SSO) in a way that balances security, reliability, and administrative clarity—exactly the tradeoffs exam questions tend to probe. You’ll define SSO as centralized authentication with delegated authorization, then examine what matters: strong authentication options, session controls, conditional access, logging visibility, and how identity outages or misconfigurations can become a single point of failure. We’ll discuss operational resilience concerns such as tenant lockout risks, recovery paths, and how to design emergency access that is controlled but usable under pressure. A scenario walks through an SSO configuration change that unintentionally relaxes access controls for a privileged group, and you’ll practice identifying where the control broke and what evidence would reveal misuse.
