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?
Configure a consumer screen-sharing tool for remote access.
Disable firewall rules to allow all inbound and outbound traffic.
Install a third-party customer-engagement application unrelated to the platform.
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.
