QuestionQ367

Network Security Architecture

You are the Network Administrator for a company that conducts a large volume of defense-contract business.

A high level of security is required, especially for sensitive documents. Which of the following steps should you take to secure network printers?

Each correct answer represents a complete solution.

Choose two
  • A Remove the printers from the network and not allow remote printing.
  • B Ensure that the printers hard drive is scanned for spyware.
  • C Secure all remote administrative protocols such as telnet.
  • D Limit the size of print jobs on the printer.
  • E Do not allow duplicate print jobs.
Explanation

Removing printers from the network and disallowing remote printing eliminates network-based access paths to printer services and sensitive print data. Printer administration must use protected management channels; plaintext protocols such as Telnet should be disabled or replaced with encrypted, authenticated alternatives to prevent interception and unauthorized administrative access.
