Julie wants to allow her assistant, Tylor, access to several files that she has encrypted with EFS. How can she allow Tylor to access the files on her computer?
A. Julie should export and email her encryption key to Tylor.
B. Julie should configure NTFS permissions to provide Tylor with full access to the files.
C. Julie should import Tylor’s encryption key and add Tylor’s certificate to each file to which Tylor should have access.
D. Julie should configure share permissions to provide Tylor with full access to the files over the network.
C. To allow Tylor to access her encrypted files, Julie should import Tylor’s encryption key and then add that key to each file to which Tylor should have access. Adding share permissions or NTFS permissions will not allow another user to access an encrypted file unless that user’s encryption key has been added to the file. Exporting and emailing Julie’s key to Tylor will not allow Tylor to access the file.
Will is the manager of Human Resources in your company. He is concerned that members of the Administrators group, who have implied access to all NTFS resources, will be able to easily view the contents of the sensitive personnel files. How can you apply the highest level of security to the payroll files?
