SailPoint Flashcards
What is SSO?
Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication mechanism that allows users to log in once and access multiple applications without re-entering credentials. It improves security by reducing password fatigue and centralizing authentication through an identity provider (IdP) like Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, or SailPoint. SSO uses protocols like SAML, OAuth 2.0, and OpenID Connect to securely grant access while enhancing user experience and compliance.
What is SailPoint CIEM?
Sailpoint’s Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) enhances identity governance by providing a deeper view into the effective access of entitlements to resources and your user’s entitlement activity in your cloud infrastructure.
What is SailPoint’s Identity Security Cloud?
Identity Security Could is a unified, multi-tenant identity governance and security platform. ISC provides organizations with the ability to ensure that their users, known as identities in ISC, have secure access to different data sources, and it makes identity access management fast and easy.
What is KBA?
Knowledge-Based Authentication (KBA) is a security method that verifies a user’s identity by asking them to answer predefined or dynamically generated questions based on personal knowledge. It is commonly used in account recovery and identity verification. KBA can be static (fixed questions like “What is your mother’s maiden name?”) or dynamic (real-time questions based on public records or transaction history). While convenient, KBA is increasingly seen as insecure due to data breaches and social engineering risks.
In the context of insider trading, what is “material information”?
Material information in insider trading refers to non-public information that could significantly impact a company’s stock price if disclosed. This includes earnings reports, mergers, acquisitions, leadership changes, or major business developments. Trading on such information before it’s public is illegal.
