CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-004) — Question 569

The Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) asked a security manager to set up a system that sends an alert whenever a mobile device enters a sensitive area of the company's data center. The CISO would also like to be able to alert the individual who is entering the area that the access was logged and monitored. Which of the following would meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Near-field communication
• B. Short Message Service
• C. Geofencing
• D. Bluetooth

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Geofencing is the correct answer because it uses GPS or RFID technology to create virtual boundaries and can send alerts when a mobile device crosses into a designated area. The other options, such as Near-field communication and Bluetooth, are not designed for tracking larger areas or notifying individuals based on location, while Short Message Service is a communication method that does not provide location-based alerts.
