A security manager is attempting to meet multiple security objectives in the next fiscal year.

F. Redundancy is a security objective that aims to ensure availability and resilience of systems and data by having backup or alternative components or resources that can take over in case of a failure. By purchasing two firewalls and two switches from different vendors, the security manager is creating redundancy for the network devices and reducing the single point of failure risk. E. Replication is a security objective that aims to ensure integrity and availability of data by creating copies or duplicates of the data across different locations or devices. By purchasing two firewalls and two switches from different vendors, the security manager is enabling replication of the network traffic and data across different paths and devices.
