The correct answer is B. Change management. The CISO is evaluating a proposed platform migration to ensure compatibility with existing software before implementation, which is a core activity within the change management process.
Question
An organization is comparing and contrasting migration from its standard desktop configuration to the newest version of the platform. Before this can happen, the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) voices the need to evaluate the functionality of the newer desktop platform to ensure interoperability with existing software in use by the organization. In which of the following principles of architecture and design is the CISO engaging?
Options
- ADynamic analysis
- BChange management
- CBaselining
- DWaterfalling

Why each option
The CISO is evaluating a proposed platform migration to ensure compatibility with existing software before implementation, which is a core activity within the change management process.
Dynamic analysis refers to testing software by executing it in a runtime environment to find vulnerabilities or bugs, not evaluating platform compatibility during a migration planning phase.
Change management is the structured process of evaluating, approving, and controlling changes to an IT environment before they are implemented. Assessing interoperability of a new desktop platform with existing software is a fundamental step in change management, specifically the impact analysis phase, which ensures that a proposed change does not negatively affect current operations or introduce new risks.
Baselining involves establishing a documented reference point of a system's current configuration or performance metrics, not evaluating the interoperability of a new platform with existing software.
Waterfalling (Waterfall) is a sequential software development methodology with distinct phases, not a security or architecture principle related to evaluating system changes or migrations.
