A company replaces a number of devices with a mobile appliance, combining several functions. Which of the following descriptions fits this new implementation? (Select TWO).

The correct answer is C. All-in-one device E. Single point of failure. When multiple functions (e.g., firewall, router, switch, IDS) are consolidated into one physical appliance, it is by definition an all-in-one device. The security trade-off is that this creates a single point of failure - if the appliance goes down, all combined functions fail…

Explanation

When multiple functions (e.g., firewall, router, switch, IDS) are consolidated into one physical appliance, it is by definition an all-in-one device. The security trade-off is that this creates a single point of failure - if the appliance goes down, all combined functions fail simultaneously. Cloud computing refers to off-premises hosted services. Virtualization refers to running multiple virtual instances on shared hardware. Load balancing distributes traffic across multiple systems - all concepts unrelated to a single consolidated hardware appliance.
