The CISO voices the need to evaluate the functionality of the newer desktop platform to ensure interoperability with existing software in use by the organization. In which of the following principles of architecture and design is the CISO engaging?. The question here is regarding the stage at which the software is before its deployment. Clearly the CISO wants a dynamic analysis instead of the static analysis of the new software to make sure the it is compatible with current applications. Change management is an administrative procedure to ensure changes are properly implemented.

I agree, hence the only answer I can see being correct is A) Dynamic Analysis

Dynamic analysis checks the code as it is running. A common method is to use fuzzing. Fuzzing uses a computer program to send random data to an application. In some cases, the random data can crash the program or create unexpected results, indicating a vulnerability. Problems discovered during a dynamic analysis can be fixed before releasing the application. So no that is not what he is doing so it wouldn't be A, C and D don't make any sense. So it should be B. IMO.

Meyers 501 does offer some support for A , but I think the language on p532 more closely supports B Change Mangement: "The process of creating change in your infrastructure in an organized, controlled, safe way is called change management." It details more support in the entire section.

hope this helps...look at blue image of the top 8 architectureprincipals....no mention of dynamic analysis, but centralized Change Mgmt is in the bullet list. That being said, a quick google search of Dynamic Analysis reports a definition that leads me to second guess my whole train of thought!!! https://enterprisearchitect.blogs.bristol.ac.uk/category/design-authority/

B.In which of the following principles of (3.0 architecture and design) is the CISO engaging? Version control and change management Change in a secure environment can introduce loopholes, overlaps, missing objects, and oversights that can lead to new vulnerabilities. The only way to maintain security in the face of change is to manage change systematically. Change management usually involves extensive planning, testing, logging, auditing, and monitoring of activities related to security controls and mechanisms. The records of changes to an environment are then used to identify agents of change, whether those agents are objects, subjects, programs, communication pathways, or the network itself.
