Which of the following risks could IT management be mitigating by removing an all-in-one device?

The correct answer is C. Single point of failure. An all-in-one device consolidates multiple network functions into a single appliance. If it fails, all those functions fail together. By replacing it with separate, dedicated devices, IT management eliminates the single point of failure risk - individual component failures no…

Explanation

An all-in-one device consolidates multiple network functions into a single appliance. If it fails, all those functions fail together. By replacing it with separate, dedicated devices, IT management eliminates the single point of failure risk - individual component failures no longer bring down the entire infrastructure. Continuity of operations is a broader planning concept. Input validation is an application security control. Single sign-on is an authentication mechanism. None of these directly describe the risk introduced by device consolidation.
