CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 95

A company is working on mobile device security after a report revealed that users granted non-verified software access to corporate data. Which of the following is the MOST effective security control to mitigate this risk?

Answer options

• A. Block access to application stores
• B. Implement OTA updates
• C. Update the BYOD policy
• D. Deploy a uniform firmware

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Blocking access to application stores prevents users from downloading non-verified applications that could compromise corporate data security. The other options, while beneficial, do not directly prevent the installation of unverified software on mobile devices, which is the primary concern in mitigating this risk.
