Question
Options
- AEnable RADIUS and end point security on Company B's network devices.
- BEnable LDAP authentication on Company A's network devices.
- CEnable LDAP/TLS authentication on Company A's network devices.
- DEnable 802.1x on Company B's network devices.
Explanation
When one company acquires another, the acquired company's infrastructure should be migrated to align with the acquiring company's authentication standard to maintain a single, unified security architecture.
Common mistakes.
- A. Simply enabling RADIUS and endpoint security on Company B's devices does not integrate them into Company A's 802.1x authentication framework - it does not migrate B's devices to use A's RADIUS server as the authenticator.
- B. Enabling plain LDAP authentication on Company A's devices would require A to downgrade or alter its infrastructure to match B's older portal-based system, which is the wrong direction for an acquisition integration.
- C. Enabling LDAP/TLS on Company A's devices is a marginally more secure variant of option B but still incorrectly shifts Company A's infrastructure to match Company B's model rather than the reverse.
