CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 636

A user lost a company tablet that was used for customer intake at a doctor's office. Which of the following actions would BEST protect against unauthorized access of the data?

Answer options

• A. Changing the office's Wi-Fi SSID and password
• B. Performing a remote wipe on the device
• C. Changing the user's password
• D. Enabling remote drive encryption

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Performing a remote wipe on the device is the most effective option as it completely erases all data on the tablet, preventing any unauthorized access. Changing the Wi-Fi SSID and password, updating the user's password, or enabling remote drive encryption do not directly remove the data from the lost device, leaving it vulnerable to unauthorized access.
