What should the security manager discuss with the CIO regarding SOA systems?

That SOA systems are unnecessary.
The ability to reduce costs dramatically.
Concerns related to data security and management.
SOA adoption will improve business operations.

The correct answer is: Concerns related to data security and management.

When discussing Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) systems with the Chief Information Officer (CIO), emphasizing concerns related to data security and management is crucial. SOA involves multiple services that communicate over a network, which inherently introduces risks associated with data exposure and integrity. Addressing these concerns ensures that the architecture is designed with a strong security framework, considering potential vulnerabilities in service interactions, data transmission, and storage. Incorporating security measures such as proper authentication, authorization, encryption, and regular security assessments is essential to protect sensitive information and maintain compliance with regulations. Focusing on security management fosters a proactive approach to mitigating risks, ensuring that the SOA implementation supports both business goals and robust security practices. While cost reduction and improved business operations can be benefits of SOA, these aspects might overshadow the necessity of addressing security concerns first, possibly leading to vulnerabilities if not properly managed.
