I vote for a good old-fashioned tin can and string setup. It's retro, it's secure, and it'll really give the employees a sense of nostalgia when they have to use it to access the network. Plus, it's probably cheaper than any of these fancy 'hardware devices'.

B) Security token all the way! It's a tried and true method that's been keeping IT departments secure for years. And let's be honest, who doesn't love a good old-fashioned security token? It's like a digital version of a pocket watch.

C) Proximity cards could be convenient for employees. They just need to swipe to access.

D) One Time Password is good, but Security token is a classic choice for two-factor authentication.

I'd say C) Proximity cards. They're affordable, easy to use, and can integrate seamlessly with the existing network. Plus, they're just really cool, like something out of a spy movie.

But biometric devices can be expensive. Maybe Adam should look into using security tokens instead.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Biometric devices can be a bit pricey, and proximity cards might not provide the level of security the CEO wants. I think D) One Time Password is a solid choice.
