CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 19

A company is issuing smartphone to employees and needs to ensure data is secure if the devices are lost or stolen. Which of the following provides the BEST solution?

Answer options

• A. Anti-malware
• B. Remote wipe
• C. Locator applications
• D. Screen lock

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The best choice is 'Remote wipe' because it allows for the complete deletion of data on a mobile device if it is lost or stolen, thereby protecting sensitive information. Anti-malware, locator applications, and screen locks provide varying levels of security, but they do not offer the same level of data protection as a remote wipe does.
