CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 395

An administrator configured security features on company-owned mobile devices to help protect against data loss. Which of the following is the best way to protect data on a misplaced device?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The best option for protecting data on a misplaced device is a remote wipe, as it allows the administrator to erase all data remotely, ensuring sensitive information is not exposed. Device encryption secures data but doesn't remove it from the device, while PIN codes and locator applications provide limited protection against unauthorized access and recovery, respectively.
