Configuring scanning to a Secure Message Block (SMB) share specifically designated for executive access ensures that the scanned confidential documents are stored securely on a network drive with restricted access.
SMB is a network file sharing protocol that allows applications on a computer to read and write to files and request services from server programs in a computer network. By setting up an SMB share with executive access, the data is centralized, making it easier to manage permissions and security settings. This method also utilizes the existing network infrastructure, allowing for scalability and integration with other security measures like encryption and authentication protocols.
