CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-002) — Question 57

An organization supports a large number of remote users. Which of the following is the BEST option to protect the data on the remote users’ laptops?

Answer options

• A. Require the use of VPNs.
• B. Require employees to sign an NDA
• C. Implement a DLP solution.
• D. Use whole disk encryption.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Using whole disk encryption (D) ensures that all data on the laptops is encrypted and inaccessible without the proper credentials, providing strong protection against data breaches. While requiring VPNs (A) can secure data transmission, it does not protect data stored on the devices. Signing an NDA (B) is a legal measure that does not provide technical protection, and implementing a DLP solution (C) is more about monitoring and preventing data leaks than securing data at rest.
