An employee is attempting to access corporate resources. Which of the following measures will verify that the employee is accessing these resources from an approved workplace location?
Accessing through publicly available Wi-Fi.
Connecting to a virtual private network (VPN) to authenticate.
Providing biometric verification such as a fingerprint scan.
Using geo-location services to confirm the access location is within company premises.
Installing antimalware software on the device being used for access.
Geo-location services can verify an individual's access location and ensure it aligns with predefined secure areas. This can be a key part of a multifactor authentication process where the employee needs to be in a specific location to access corporate resources. In contrast, a virtual private network (VPN) masks an individual's location and is not used to verify a specific location, biometrics verify identity and not location, antimalware software is used to protect against malicious software, and public Wi-Fi is inherently insecure and does not verify location validity.
