You work as the IT Security Administrator for a small corporate network. You have placed several documents that are used only by administrators in a folder on CorpServer. You need to secure the contents of the C:\Admins folder so that unauthorized users cannot view the documents in the folder. You also need to allow Susan access to the latest password file in the folder.

Complete the following tasks:

Encrypt the C:\Admins folder and all of its contents.
Add the Susan user account as an authorized user for the C:\Admins\Passwords.xls file.

Answer 1

To secure the C:\Admins folder, encrypt it and add Susan as an authorized user for the Passwords.xls file.

Step-by-step explanation:

To secure the contents of the C:\Admins folder, you can encrypt it using file and folder encryption tools provided by the operating system or third-party software. Encrypting the folder will ensure that unauthorized users cannot view the documents inside. To add Susan as an authorized user for the C:\Admins\Passwords.xls file, you can modify the file's permissions to grant her the necessary access.
