During employee onboarding, a specialized client-interaction platform can be reached only when the laptop is connected to the employer's internal network. Which step is MOST critical to enable the employee to use this platform?
Disable firewall rules to allow all inbound and outbound traffic.
Install a third-party customer-engagement application unrelated to the platform.
Configure a consumer screen-sharing tool for remote access.
Connect the laptop to the company network using secure authentication (for example, a corporate VPN).
Because the application resides on the company's private network, the employee must first establish a secure (typically VPN-based) connection and authenticate with corporate credentials. Only after the laptop is on the internal network will other tasks-such as installing client software or adjusting firewall rules-be meaningful.
