CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 301

A company has a security policy that specifies all endpoint computing devices should be assigned a unique identifier that can be tracked via an inventory management system. Recent changes to airline security regulations have cause many executives in the company to travel with mini tablet devices instead of laptops. These tablet devices are difficult to tag and track. An RDP application is used from the tablet to connect into the company network.
Which of the following should be implemented in order to meet the security policy requirements?

Answer options

• A. Virtual desktop infrastructure (IDI)
• B. WS-security and geo-fencing
• C. A hardware security module (HSM)
• D. RFID tagging system
• E. MDM software
• F. Security Requirements Traceability Matrix (SRTM)

Correct answer: E

Explanation

MDM (Mobile Device Management) software is the most suitable choice as it allows for the management, tracking, and securing of mobile devices, including tablets, ensuring compliance with the company's security policy. Options like RFID tagging systems may not be effective for tracking devices that are frequently mobile, while the other options do not directly address the need for managing and identifying endpoint devices in a practical manner.
