A company is looking into ways to ensure only approved users are able to access the company website on devices. Which of the following would work BEST to achieve this goal?

Creating and deploying client certificates allows for strong authentication where the web server verifies the client's identity before granting access. This ensures that only devices or users possessing a valid and trusted certificate can access the company website, directly addressing the need for approved user access.

Disabling the browser's cache prevents local storage of website data, but it does not authenticate users or control access to the website itself.

Configuring proxy settings routes web traffic through a proxy server, which can filter content or provide anonymity, but it does not inherently authenticate users for website access.

Installing antivirus extensions helps protect against malware and phishing, but it does not provide a mechanism to authenticate users or devices attempting to access a specific website.
