CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 717

Management wants to ensure any sensitive data on company-provided cell phones is isolated in a single location that can be remotely wiped if the phone is lost.
Which of the following technologies BEST meets this need?

Answer options

• A. Geofencing
• B. Containerization
• C. Device encryption
• D. Sandboxing

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Containerization is the correct choice because it allows sensitive data to be stored in a separate environment on the device, which can be remotely wiped if necessary. Geofencing, device encryption, and sandboxing do not provide the same level of specific data isolation and remote management capabilities that containerization offers.
