Which of the following is the best step for the administrator to take NEXT?

A cloud administrator recently noticed that a number of files stored at a SaaS provider’s file-sharing service were deleted. As part of the root cause analysis, the administrator noticed the parent folder permissions were modified last week. The administrator then used a test user account and determined the permissions on the files allowed everyone to have write access.

Which of the following is the best step for the administrator to take NEXT?
A . Identify the changes to the file-sharing service and document
B . Acquire a third-party DLP solution to implement and manage access
C . Test the current access permissions to the file-sharing service
D . Define and configure the proper permissions for the file-sharing service

Answer: D

Explanation:

Permissions are rules or settings that determine what actions users can perform on files or resources in a system or service. Permissions can help control and restrict access to files or resources based on various criteria, such as user identity, role, group, or ownership. Defining and configuring the proper permissions for the file-sharing service is the best step for the administrator to take next after discovering that sales group members can access the financial application due to being part of the finance group and having write access to all files in the file-sharing service. Defining and configuring the proper permissions can prevent unauthorized or accidental access or modification of files or resources by limiting or granting access based on specific criteria.
