structure?
A.
It is easier to promote security awareness.
B.
It is easier to manage and control.
C.
It is more responsive to business unit needs.
D.
It provides a faster turnaround for security requests.
Explanation:
It is easier to manage and control a centralized structure. Promoting security awareness is an
advantage of decentralization. Decentralization allows you to use field security personnel as
security missionaries or ambassadors to spread the security awareness message. Decentralized
operations allow security administrators to be more responsive. Being close to the business allows
decentralized security administrators to achieve a faster turnaround than that achieved in a
centralized operation.
