CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-003) — Question 183

A company recently implemented a new cloud storage solution and installed the required synchronization client on all company devices. A few months later, a breach of sensitive data was discovered. Root cause analysis shows the data breach happened from a lost personal mobile device.
Which of the following controls can the organization implement to reduce the risk of similar breaches?

Answer options

• A. Biometric authentication
• B. Cloud storage encryption
• C. Application containerization
• D. Hardware anti-tamper

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Implementing biometric authentication can enhance security by ensuring that only authorized users can access sensitive data, thus mitigating risks from lost devices. While cloud storage encryption, application containerization, and hardware anti-tamper measures are important, they do not directly address the issue of unauthorized access from lost or stolen personal devices as effectively as biometric authentication.
