To maintain the security and integrity of the systems in an office, what is the BEST practice to follow when setting up new workstations?
Changing default passwords on all devices and accounts.
Enabling the host firewall on every workstation.
Manually verifying each patch before installation.
Scheduling regular backups for system data.
Changing default passwords is a fundamental security practice to prevent unauthorized access. Default passwords can often be easily found online and are one of the first things attackers try when attempting to gain access to a system. Enabling firewalls and scheduling regular backups are important security measures but do not directly address the issue of preventing unauthorized access as effectively as changing default passwords. Manual patch verification is a part of maintaining security but is not specifically a measure to secure a new workstation against unauthorized access.
