GIAC Security Leadership Certification (GSLC) 2020 — Question 4

Your project is to implement a new operating system for all of the workstations in your company's network. Every workstation must have the new operating system as part of an organization-wide mandate. Many users are not happy with this decision and are resisting the change. Some of the users are complaining that they do not want the operating system at all. What type of stakeholders are these users?

Answer options

• A. Con stakeholders
• B. Customers
• C. Negative stakeholders
• D. End-users

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Negative stakeholders, as these users are opposed to the new operating system and are actively resisting the change. While they can also be considered End-users, the term Negative stakeholders specifically highlights their discontent and influence on the project. Options A and B do not accurately describe their opposition, making them incorrect.
