CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 64

Corporate management is concerned about the security of the company's mobile phones, in the event they are lost or stolen. Management instructs the IT staff to ensure the data on the devices is not accessible by unauthorized users.
Which of the following would provide the BEST level of protection in this scenario? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Use full device encryption
• B. Enable a pattern lock
• C. Implement remote wipe features
• D. Use device lockout policies
• E. Require complex administrator passwords
• F. Disable unknown application installations

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

Full device encryption (A) ensures that all data on the device is protected and inaccessible without the proper authentication, making it the highest level of security. Remote wipe features (C) allow the company to erase data remotely if a device is lost or stolen, adding a crucial layer of protection. The other options, while helpful, do not provide the same level of comprehensive security as full device encryption and remote wipe capabilities.
