An organization uses a remote repository to store media files. The security team discovered that users who have the exact file link can retrieve these files without authorization. Management wants a solution that limits retrieval to staff with corporate credentials, while existing workflows remain unaffected. Which action achieves this objective?
Remove open retrieval settings and grant staff-centric read permissions
Encrypt the media files on the server before deployment
Inspect data flow of outbound traffic within the cloud environment
Use specialized local volumes to hold the files instead of a repository
Limiting access by removing open retrieval and assigning staff-centric permissions ensures that only credentialed users can view the content. Locally isolating volumes does not solve direct download issues, outgoing traffic checks do not directly stop unauthorized users from accessing the existing links, and encrypting files on the server leaves the public endpoint unprotected if the object remains publicly retrievable.
