A technician needs to execute a Python file that is intended to automate the process of inventory data collection on company computers. Before running the script, what action should the technician take to ensure safety and prevent potential harm to the system?
Connect the system to a power surge protector to guard against electrical spikes during script execution.
Immediately report to management before running any script to have legal documentation.
Preview and vet the script's code to ensure that it does not contain malicious elements or operations that could harm the system.
Check the devices for the latest .NET and C++ Runtime Binaries
Before running any script, especially one downloaded or received from external sources, it is important to review the script's code to verify its safety and it doesn't contain any harmful elements. This precaution avoids unintentional actions like altering system settings, affecting system performance, or introducing malware. Executing foreign scripts without inspection can pose significant risks to system integrity and data security.
