Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) — Question 200

The PRIMARY benefit of introducing a single point of administration in network monitoring is that it:

Answer options

• A. reduces unauthorized access to systems.
• B. promotes efficiency in control of the environment.
• C. prevents inconsistencies in information in the distributed environment.
• D. allows administrative staff to make management decisions.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The key advantage of a single point of administration is that it enhances efficiency in managing the environment by streamlining control and oversight. The other options, while they may have relevance, do not capture the primary benefit as effectively; unauthorized access, data consistency, and decision-making are secondary advantages that arise from improved efficiency.
