Explanation
Warning banners are an administrative control that legally notifies all users - including employees - that the system is for authorized use only, that their activity may be monitored, and that unauthorized access or misuse is subject to disciplinary action and/or criminal prosecution. Without a warning banner, employees could argue they were unaware their actions were prohibited or monitored, undermining any legal case. A warning banner establishes informed consent and creates the legal foundation needed for both HR dismissal and criminal prosecution. The other options are technical controls: command shell restrictions and restricted interfaces limit what users can do, and piping session output to /dev/null would destroy audit evidence rather than help prosecute anyone.
