You would like to improve the security on your network by adding an additional authentication requirement to access network resources, especially over a VPN. What’s the best network security technology to address this requirement?
A) BIOS passwords
B) Token generators
C) Software firewalls
D) Require NTFS file systems
E) Build a moat
