Under what condition may you install software on organization-owned systems?

When you feel it's necessary
It's licensed and authorized according to organizational policy
If no one will notice
Whenever you have free time

The correct answer is: It's licensed and authorized according to organizational policy

Installing software on organization-owned systems is only permissible when it is licensed and authorized in accordance with organizational policy. This ensures that the software has been vetted for security and compliance standards, reducing the risk of malicious software or unlicensed applications that could jeopardize the integrity of the organization’s IT infrastructure. Authorization typically involves approval from an IT department or security team, confirming that the software aligns with the organization's operational needs and security protocols. This process helps protect against vulnerabilities that unauthorized or unlicensed software might introduce, such as spyware or data breaches. The other options suggest installing software based on personal judgment, stealth, or free time, which bypasses critical governance and security measures that are in place to protect organizational assets. Ignoring established policies can lead to significant risks, including data loss, legal ramifications, and breaches of confidentiality or compliance regulations.
