Which of the following is NOT one of the advantages of Distributed Malware Detection and Prevention?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

To answer this correctly, you must understand the difference between legacy network security and VMware vDefend's software-defined approach. 'Hair-pinning' (forcing all network traffic to leave the virtual environment, travel to a physical centralized firewall/appliance for inspection, and then travel back) is a massive disadvantage of legacy architectures. It causes severe network bottlenecks, increases latency, and wastes bandwidth.

VMware vDefend's Distributed Malware Prevention eliminates hair-pinning entirely by enforcing security directly at the hypervisor vNIC. Therefore, Option B is a description of a legacy limitation, not an advantage of the vDefend distributed architecture.

I recall that distributed systems should ideally minimize single points of failure, so B sounds like it could be the odd one out.

I practiced a similar question where we discussed the benefits of cloud sandboxes. I feel like A and D are definitely advantages, but B is tricky.

I think option B might be the right answer since hair-pinning traffic could create bottlenecks, but I need to double-check my notes on that.
