While attempting to log into a company's internal portal, a warning pops up in your web browser indicating a security concern with the site's authentication. What should your immediate response be?
Proceed to enter your login credentials, assuming the issue is an internal glitch that will be fixed soon.
Manually override the warning in your browser's settings to gain access to the portal.
Reload the browser or try to visit the site multiple times until the warning disappears.
Halt any transmission of personal or sensitive data and report the issue to the cybersecurity team.
If a web browser warns about a security issue related to site authentication, it typically means there is a problem with the site's SSL/TLS certificate, such as it being expired or not issued by a trusted authority. The best immediate response would be to refrain from entering any sensitive information and to alert the appropriate department, such as the cybersecurity team, to investigate the problem. Inputting sensitive data on a site with certificate issues can lead to data being compromised. The incorrect answers fail to prioritize security and could potentially expose users to risks.
