CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 638

A government contracting company issues smartphones to employees to enable access to corporate resources. Several employees will need to travel to a foreign country for business purposes and will require access to their phones. However, the company recently received intelligence that its intellectual property is highly desired by the same country's government. Which of the following MDM configurations would BEST reduce the disk of compromise while on foreign soil?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Disabling location services prevents the tracking of the device's geographic location, which is crucial in a foreign country where security threats may arise. The other options do not directly address the risk of being tracked or monitored while abroad, and disabling firmware updates, push notifications, or wipe functions may not significantly enhance the security posture in this scenario.
