Question
Which of the following BEST describes an important security advantage yielded by implementing vendor diversity?
Options
- ASustainability
- BHomogeneity
- CResiliency
- DConfigurability
Explanation
Vendor diversity is a strategy of using multiple vendors for critical systems to avoid single points of failure and reduce the impact of vendor-specific vulnerabilities or outages.
Common mistakes.
- A. Sustainability refers to long-term environmental or operational continuity practices and is not a direct security advantage of using multiple vendors.
- B. Homogeneity is actually the opposite of vendor diversity - it describes a uniform, single-vendor environment, which increases risk by creating a single point of failure or a common vulnerability across all systems.
- D. Configurability refers to the ability to customize or adjust a system's settings and is not a security benefit specifically associated with implementing vendor diversity.
