Which of the following is the MOST important risk associated with middleware in a client-server
environment?

A.
Server patching may be prevented

B.
System backups may be incomplete

C.
System integrity may be affected

D.
End-user sessions may be hijacked

Explanation:

The major risk associated with middleware in a client-server environment is that system integrity
may be adversely affected because of the very purpose of middleware, which is intended to
support multiple operating environments interacting concurrently. Lack of proper software to
control portability of data or programs across multiple platforms could result in a loss of data or
program integrity. All other choices are less likely to occur.
