Dell EMC Associate – Information Storage and Management v5 — Question 77

What is a benefit of including a Defense-in-depth strategy as part of the data center security strategy?

Answer options

• A. Optimize application and data storage security controls
• B. Optimize application and network security controls
• C. Reduce the overall cost of deploying security controls
• D. Reduce the scope of an information security risk

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because a Defense-in-depth strategy helps to layer security measures, effectively decreasing the potential impact of security threats and minimizing the scope of risk. Options A, B, and C focus on optimizing or reducing costs rather than addressing the risk scope, making them less relevant to the core benefit of Defense-in-depth.
