CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 311

A company cell phone was stolen from a technician's vehicle. The cell phone has a passcode, but it contains sensitive information about clients and vendors. Which of the following should also be enabled?

Answer options

• A. Factory reset
• B. Autolock
• C. Encryption
• D. Two-factor authentication

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Encryption is essential because it protects the sensitive data on the phone, ensuring that even if the device is accessed, the information remains secure. While autolock and two-factor authentication enhance security, they do not protect the data if the phone is accessed. A factory reset would erase all data, which is not a proactive security measure.
