Single Answer
0Helen has deployed both Cisco and Juniper routers in her organization to ensure that a vulnerability in one vendor's products does not result in a complete outage of her organization. What is this type of design called?
Answer Options
A
Platform agnostic
B
Platform diversity
C
Multi-cloud
D
Parallel processing
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
This type of architecture leverages the idea of platform diversity. Having multiple vendors and platforms helps to ensure that a single vendor's failure or vulnerability does not prevent an organization from continuing to function. Platform agnostic is not on the Security+ exam but typically means that organizations don't have a vested interest in which platform is selected or used. Multi-cloud environments run in multiple cloud vendors' tools, but this question involves physical router hardware. Parallel processing is a failure testing mode where two or more sites run at the same time during a test.
