I’m a bit confused about the other options. Installing malware seems counterproductive, right? I think D is the only logical choice here.

I feel like we had a similar question about employee training and data security risks. D definitely aligns with what we learned about protecting sensitive information.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think the CEO should focus on the training aspect. Option D sounds right, but what about the IT equipment?

I remember we discussed the importance of training staff on data security in one of our practice sessions. It seems like D would be the best option here.
