* Negative Impact on Log Analysis:
* Setting each node to local time can create inconsistencies in log timestamps across the organization.
* This makes correlation and chronological analysis of events challenging, especially in a multinational environment.
* Centralized Log Management Benefits:
* Centralized systems ensure uniformity in time zones and enable easier aggregation of logs.
* Why Not Other Options:
* A: Centralized log management facilitates analysis.
* B: Encryption ensures security without affecting analysis.
* D: Aggregation agents improve log collection without introducing inconsistencies.

Application Lifecycle Management:
Application security development is an ongoing process that spans the entire lifecycle of the application.
From design, development, deployment, maintenance, to retirement, security must be continuously assessed and updated.
Key Considerations:
* Security development does not end after deployment (B) or at the maintenance phase (C).
* Applications may have evolving security needs until they are retired.
EC-Council CISO Framework:
Security is integral throughout the application's lifecycle, and ensuring security up to retirement aligns with risk management and compliance principles taught in EC-Council CISO frameworks.
