Which term is described as a technology trend that requires organizations to embrace IAM programs due to its increasing prevalence?

• A. Mobile Computing
• B. Cloud Computing
• C. Entitlements
• D. Social Media

Answer: (C)

Entitlements describe the access rights and permissions a user has to resources. As organizations increasingly rely on a variety of systems and services—mobile devices, cloud resources, and social platforms—the number of access paths to manage grows. That makes centralized control over who can do what across all these resources essential, and IAM programs are designed to govern those rights consistently, automate provisioning and de-provisioning, enforce least privilege, and support audits. While the other options represent technologies or trends that raise the need for identity and access controls, they are not the term for the actual authorization rights themselves; entitlements are the core concept IAM programs manage.
