Activity $2$: On$-$Site Identity Issues Scenario

In this activity, you will be provided with two different local identity scenarios. For each, you should

research the technology or situation described, and then write a written recommendation to handle

the issue described. In Part $3,$ you will review your answers and look for potential flaws that remain.

Part $1$: Emergency privilege escalation $3$

At Example Corp., administrative accounts are created and managed using a central identity and

access management suite. This suite, as well as the company's central AAA servers, are hosted in

redundant datacentres, and site$-$to$-$site VPNs normally connect those datacentres to multiple

locations around the country.

Example Corp.$\text{'}$s systems engineering department recently dealt with a major internet connectivity

outage, which also resulted in engineers being unable to log in to the systems at the sites where they

worked. This meant that they were unable to work to fix the issues.

The engineers have requested that you identify a secure way to provide emergency, on$-$demand

privileged access to local servers when the central AAA services are unavailable. You have been asked

to provide a solution to central IT management that is both secure and flexible enough to allow

authentication for network devices, servers, and workstations
