Which issue poses a challenge for security architects who want end-to-end visibility of their networks?
The correct answer is C. too many disparate solutions and technology silos. The primary challenge to end-to-end security visibility is the proliferation of siloed, vendor-specific tools that each cover only a fragment of the network. This fragmentation creates blind spots that prevent a unified security posture.

Why each option
The primary challenge to end-to-end security visibility is the proliferation of siloed, vendor-specific tools that each cover only a fragment of the network. This fragmentation creates blind spots that prevent a unified security posture.
Manual processes increase operational burden and slow response time, but they do not inherently prevent visibility if proper tooling is in place.
Overlapping controls create redundancy and policy complexity but do not block visibility - they may actually increase the number of inspection points.
When an organization operates many disparate point solutions - each with its own data format, console, and coverage scope - correlating events across the full network path becomes extremely difficult, making end-to-end visibility architecturally impossible without significant integration work.
A skills shortage affects the ability to operate and interpret security data, but it is a staffing problem rather than a structural architectural barrier to visibility.
