Question 2

To protect your wireless devices and the information they hold,you should set up encryption such as ____.&#10;A) SSID&#10;B) SkyDrive&#10;C) MAC&#10;D) WPA2

To avoid viruses, most organizations do not allow users to install their own software on their corporate PC. This is because unauthorized software installations can introduce malware and other security risks to the network. Instead, many organizations have strict policies in place for software procurement and installation, often requiring approval from IT departments or designated administrators. This is a key aspect of maintaining a secure and reliable IT infrastructure within an organization.
