that can be implemented in this environment, which of the
following makes implementation and maintenance difficult?
A. User isolation
B. Controlled remote access
C. Transparent remote access
D. The network environments
Answer / guest
Answer: D
Depending on the complexity of the network environment,
implementation of program-to-program communication features
becomes progressively more difficult. It is possible to
implement program-to-program communication to isolate a user
in the multi-vendor network. program-to-program
communication can be implemented to control and monitor the
files that a user can transfer between systems, and the
remote program-to-program will be transparent to the end
user. All of these are security features.
