When undertaking a cloud migration of multiple SaaS applications, an organization's systems administrators struggled with the complexity of extending identity and access management to cloud-based assets. Which of the following service models would have reduced the complexity of this project?
Correct Answer: C
Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)simplifies secure remote access to cloud and SaaS applications by enforcing identity-based, least-privilege access policies. It eliminates the need to extend traditional network- based access models to the cloud. ZTNA ensures thateach user is verified continuouslyregardless of their network location, aligning perfectly with complex multi-cloud or SaaS environments.
* RADIUS (A)is an older authentication protocol, not ideal for SaaS cloud scale.
* SDN (B)controls network flow, not identity management.
* SWG (D)is a secure web proxy, not for access control and IAM extension.
