CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1202) — Question 133

A user reports that their corporate mobile phone is lost. Which of the following protects the data locally on the phone from unauthorized access?

Answer options

• A. Password manager
• B. Degaussing
• C. Remote wipe
• D. Antivirus

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as a remote wipe allows the company to erase all data on the lost phone, ensuring that it cannot be accessed by unauthorized individuals. The other options do not provide this level of security; a password manager helps manage passwords but does not protect the device itself, degaussing is used to erase data from storage media, and antivirus software protects against malware but does not secure lost devices.
