Tomas is responsible for setting up and maintaining employee workstations at his company.
Next week, Amanda will begin working in the marketing department for the company. In addition to the standard company setup, Amanda needs the equipment necessary to view and hear various sound and animation files so that she can evaluate their quality. Also, she will routinely review PDF files that are posted to the company extranet.
As Tomas sets up Amanda's workstation, he installs the following components and plug-ins:
- A sound card and speakers so she can hear sound files
- Adobe Flash Player to allow her to view animation
- Adobe Reader to allow her to view PDF files
As a class, discuss this scenario and answer the following questions:
- What, if any, additional components or plug-ins can Tomas install to help Amanda perform her job functions?
- What security risks should Tomas discuss with Amanda regarding the content she may be viewing?
