ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question
Your organization is integrating a legacy order-processing application with a newly acquired partner's logistics system over a shared message bus. During design reviews you learn that each system relies on separate user directories and enforces different role definitions. From a secure systems-of-systems perspective, which security challenge does this situation most directly highlight?
Excessive redundancy in geographically dispersed disaster-recovery sites leading to wasted resources
Incompatible authentication and authorization mechanisms that undermine consistent trust between the two environments
Performance degradation caused by added network latency in the message bus
Mandatory recompilation of the legacy codebase to support newer processor security extensions
A primary risk when connecting large, previously independent systems is that they often rely on divergent identity stores and authorization schemes. Without a common trust framework or federation, one system may accept credentials or roles that the other would reject, enabling privilege escalation or unauthorized access across domain boundaries. Performance overhead, code recompilation for hardware changes, and redundant disaster-recovery capacity can pose operational or cost issues, but they are not the core security challenge created by mismatched authentication and authorization models.
