CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 658

A security analyst is implementing mobile device security for a company. To save money, management has decided on a BYOD model. The company is most concerned with ensuring company data will not be exposed if a phone is lost or stolen. Which of the following techniques BEST accomplish this goal? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Containerization
• B. Full device encryption
• C. Geofencing
• D. Remote wipe
• E. Application management
• F. Storage segmentation

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

Full device encryption (B) ensures that all data on the device is encrypted, making it inaccessible without proper authentication if the device is lost or stolen. Remote wipe (D) allows for the deletion of all data on the device remotely, ensuring that sensitive information cannot be accessed by unauthorized individuals. The other options, while useful for various aspects of security, do not directly prevent data exposure in the event of loss or theft.
