Q). Which of the following is characteristic of centralized information security management ?

A. More expensive to administer
B. Better adherence to policies
C. More aligned with business unit needs

Answer: The correct answer is "B". One of the most basic features of centralized information security management is better adherence to security policies. With centralization, tt is generally less expensive to administer due to the economies of scale; however, turnaround can be slower due to the lack of alignment with business units. Option "C" is also incorrect since, centralization does not neccesarily mean better alignment with business needs.
