CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 328

An employee who was working remotely lost a mobile device containing company data. Which of the following provides the best solution to prevent future data loss?

Answer options

• A. MDM
• B. DLP
• C. FDE
• D. EDR

Correct answer: A

Explanation

MDM (Mobile Device Management) is the best solution because it allows for the management and security of mobile devices, enabling features like remote wiping of data if a device is lost. DLP (Data Loss Prevention) focuses on preventing data leaks but does not offer device management. FDE (Full Disk Encryption) secures data at rest but does not address loss prevention comprehensively. EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) is primarily for threat detection and response, not for managing mobile devices specifically.
