Answer: B
The periodic checking of hard drives would be the most
effective method of identifying illegal software packages
loaded to the network. Antivirus software will not
necessarily identify illegal software unless the software
contains a virus. Diskless workstations act as a
preventative control and are not effective since users could
still download software from other than diskless
workstations. Policies lay out the rules about loading the
software, but will not detect the actual occurrence.
