Title: Lesson 7: Discussion
Course: RITA MC - ITNW 1308 > Section: Lesson 7: Configuring Internet Explorer 11 and Internet Explorer for the Desktop

Several employees at the company you work for have recently been victims of identity theft. These incidents were the result of emails received by the victims requesting that they supply personal bank account information to a website or risk having their accounts closed. The website was, of course, not legitimate, and attackers used the information collected there to transfer funds from the victims’ accounts. The company has recently upgraded all company workstations to Windows 8.1, and you are examining the capabilities of the SmartScreen Filter in Internet Explorer. Your superiors have told you that you can use any of the new IE security features for the company workstations, as long as they do not consume any additional Internet bandwidth.

Explain to your supervisor the various methods IE uses to protect against phishing attacks, and specify which ones you intend to use for the company workstations.

You will post your response to this discussion and respond to at least two of your class members posts. If you do not post your response and respond to two of your class members posts you will not receive credit for any of the work in this discussion. Your post must address all points, be clear and well thought out. It must contain at least 50 words to be considered for grading. You will cite a source for each post or comment that you provide. It is great to say that it is your personal opinion, however that opinion was gained by something that you read or saw. You will need to cite that source.

Note: Your discussion board will have two different deadlines. The first deadline is to have your initial post completed that way your class members will have plenty of time to respond to your post. That deadline is always the Tuesday before the posted due date. The second deadline is your reply to two of your class members post. Missing either of these deadlines will result in an immediate zero. This is the guidelines for all discussion boards.
