✓ Correct answer: D. Once an individual obtains access to the system through the initial log-on, they have access to all resources within the environment that the account has access to. Single Sign-On is a distributed Access Control methodology in which a user only has to authenticate once to have access to all major and secondary network domains. <br/><br/>When the individual needs extra resources, they would not be asked to re-authenticate. The security concern this raises is that if a fraudster is able to compromise those credentials, they will also have access to all the resources that the account has access to.
