I thought '10' was a joke, but is it really that high?

I vaguely recall that setting it to '3' might be necessary, but I’m not confident about the exact numbers.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like the seminar said something about needing to set it higher than '1' to really secure the server.

I remember something about the Restrict Anonymous setting, but I thought setting it to '1' was enough to block null sessions.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question is asking how the company can achieve different organization requirements, so I'm not sure if a shared hierarchy would work. Maybe I should consider the other options more carefully.

Maybe the solution is to just disconnect the server from the internet altogether. Then no one can hack it, right? *sarcasm intensifies*
