D is the correct answer Configuring scanning to a Secure Message Block (SMB) share specifically designated for executive access ensures that the scanned confidential documents are stored securely on a network drive with restricted access. SMB is a network file sharing protocol that allows applications on a computer to read and write to files and request services from server programs in a computer network. By setting up an SMB share with executive access, the data is centralized, making it easier to manage permissions and security settings. This method also utilizes the existing network infrastructure, allowing for scalability and integration with other security measures like encryption and authentication protocols.

D. Configure scanning to an SMB share with executive access. Configuring the printer to scan documents directly to an SMB share with restricted access is the most secure option. This method minimizes human intervention and reduces the risk of unauthorized access to confidential documents. GG

Badge access provides physical security to the printer, ensuring that only authorized users can use the device. This adds an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access, especially when scanning highly confidential data. By requiring users to scan a badge or use some form of authentication, the printer can be restricted to only those who are authorized to scan sensitive information, mitigating the risk of accidental or intentional data leakage

While badge access can control physical access to the printer, it doesn't address the security of the scanned documents themselves. GG

Implementing badge access ensures that only authorized individuals can use the multifunction printer to scan documents. This adds a layer of security by preventing unauthorized personnel from accessing the printer and potentially scanning sensitive data. Configure scanning to an SMB share with executive access: While this provides some level of access control, it still carries risks if the SMB share is not adequately secured and monitored. Using badge access is the most secure option for handling highly confidential data.
