It is a major factor in deciding if a centralized or decentralized environment is more appropriate.<br \/>\nExample: In a centralized computing environment, you have a central server and workstations (often &#8220;dumb terminals&#8221;) access applications, data, and everything else from that central servers. Therefore, the vast majority of your security resides on a centrally managed server. In a decentralized (or distributed) environment, you have a collection of PC&#8217;s each with their own operating systems to maintain, their own software to maintain, local data storage requiring protection and backup. You may also have PDA&#8217;s and &#8220;smart phones&#8221;, data watches, USB devices of all types able to store data&#8230; the list gets longer all the time.<br \/>\nIt is entirely possible to reach a reasonable and acceptable level of security in a distributed environment. But doing so is significantly more difficult, requiring more effort, more money, and more time.<br \/>\nThe other answers are not correct because:<br \/>\nscalability -A distributed computing environment is almost infinitely scalable. Much more so than a centralized environment. This is therefore a bad answer.<br \/>\nheterogeneity -Having products and systems from multiple vendors in a distributed environment is significantly easier than in a centralized environment. This would not be a &#8220;challenge of distributed computing solutions&#8221; and so is not a good answer.<br \/>\nusability -This is potentially a challenge in either environment, but whether or not this is a problem has very little to do with whether it is a centralized or distributed environment. Therefore, this would not be a good answer.<br \/>\nReference: Official ISC2 Guide page: 313-314 All in One Third Edition page: (unavailable at this time)<\/div>\n<p><\/strong><\/span> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which of the following is often the greatest challenge of distributed computing solutions?
