You are a systems administrator for your company. The company has employees who work remotely
by using a virtual private network (VPN) connection from their computers, which run Windows 8
Pro. These employees use an application to access the company intranet database servers. The
company recently decided to distribute the latest version of the application through using a public
cloud. Some users report that every time they try to download the application by using Internet
Explorer, they receive a warning message that indicates the application could harm their computer.
You need to recommend a solution that prevents this warning message from appearing, without
compromising the security protection of the computers. What should you do?
A.
Obtain a public certificate for the web server, and then configure the web site to use SSL.
B.
Instruct employees to disable the SmartScreen Filter from within the Internet Explorer settings.
C.
Digitally sign the application by using a trusted certificate, and then update the default App
Package Deployment policy on all computers.
D.
Publish the application through a public file transfer protocol (FTP) site.
is B really the right answer? seems stupid to me to instruct the user to disable SmartScreen, this would make the PC mor vulnerable. i would say C.
I have to agree…answer B will create more holes in security just to alleviate one issue. It’s not like the employees will need to keep installing the app everytime they need to use (unless new version is available).
Digitally signing the app and updating the app installation policy on GPO seems a better option…unless the remote employees are using their own private PCs…which makes this option not applicable.
