Hah, D is the obvious choice here. The security officer is probably still trying to figure out where the coffee machine is, and they're already trying to shake things up. Talk about a recipe for disaster!

I believe the security officer should have taken more time to build relationships before implementing the project, so option D might also be a factor.

C is an interesting choice, but I'm going with B. The security officer should have done their homework and gotten everyone on board before launching this project. Reminds me of that old saying, 'An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure'.

A is a good guess, but I think B is the correct answer. Lack of organizational support is the biggest hurdle for new security initiatives. You can have the best technology, but if no one wants to use it, it's useless.

I'd say D is the most likely reason. The security officer should have taken some time to build trust and relationships before trying to implement major changes. Rome wasn't built in a day, you know.

But what if the software license expiration is the issue? Option A could also be a valid reason.

The answer is definitely B. You can't just push security projects down people's throats without getting buy-in from the affected departments. That's a recipe for disaster!
