An organization wants to upgrade its enterprise-wide desktop computer solution. The organization currently has 500 PCs active on the network. The Chief
Information Security Officer (CISO) suggests that the organization employ desktop imaging technology for such a large-scale upgrade. Which of the following is a security benefit of implementing an imaging solution?

Answer options

• A. It allows for faster deployment.
• B. It provides a consistent baseline.
• C. It reduces the number of vulnerabilities.
• D. It decreases the boot time.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, B, highlights that an imaging solution establishes a uniform baseline across all PCs, which enhances security by ensuring consistent configurations and patches. While A, C, and D may present benefits related to deployment speed, vulnerability reduction, and boot time, they do not specifically address the security advantages related to consistency and standardization that an imaging solution provides.
