What is the primary function of Federated Identity Management?

  1. Encapsulating application software from the operating system

  2. Allowing a single user authentication process across multiple systems

  3. Providing access to networks of multiple enterprises using the same identification data

  4. Monitoring and analyzing database activity

The correct answer is: Providing access to networks of multiple enterprises using the same identification data

Federated Identity Management (FIM) is a system that allows multiple organizations to share identity data, such as login credentials, for the purpose of providing access to shared resources. This means that users can use the same login information to access different systems or networks, making it easier for them to navigate between systems without having to remember multiple sets of login credentials. This differs from option A, which refers to virtualization of software, and option D, which focuses on monitoring database activity, neither of which is the primary function of FIM. Option B may seem like a possible answer, as it mentions single user authentication, but it does not encompass the main purpose of FIM, which is facilitating access to networks of multiple enterprises. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
