Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT (CGEIT) — Question 218

An enterprise's decision to move to a virtualized architecture will have the GREATEST impact on:

Answer options

• A. system life cycle management
• B. vendor management
• C. vulnerability management
• D. asset classification

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The transition to a virtualized architecture primarily influences system life cycle management as it changes how systems are deployed, maintained, and decommissioned. While vendor management, vulnerability management, and asset classification are also relevant, they do not experience as profound an effect from virtualization as the life cycle management of systems does.
