• Question 41:

  Which issue is likely to be a security pain point highlighted by the chief security officer in a security audit of data center operations?

  A. Security policies are fragmented across the data center, and there is no centralized point of management and control.
  B. Fiber optic cables should be used throughout the data center because they are less vulnerable to interception technology than copper cables.
  C. The data center does not need both intrusion detection systems and firewalls because they are complementary technologies and overlap in many respects.
  D. Using 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections makes the speed of an attack from outside the corporation a significant security vulnerability, because reaction times to any intrusion must be 10 times faster than it is when using Gigabit Ethernet.
  A. Security policies are fragmented across the data center, and there is no centralized point of management and control.
