Certified Incident Handler (ECIH) — Question 28

Stephen, a security professional at an organization, was instructed to implement security measures that prevent corporate data leakage on employees' mobile devices. For this purpose, he employed a technique using which all personal and corporate data are isolated on an employee's mobile device. Using this technique, corporate applications do not have any control of or communication with the private applications or data of the employees.
Which of the following techniques has Stephen implemented in the above scenario?

Answer options

• A. Full device encryption
• B. Geofencing
• C. Containerization
• D. OTA updates

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Containerization, which effectively isolates corporate applications and data from personal ones on mobile devices. This prevents any communication or control between the two, enhancing security. The other options, such as Full device encryption, focus on encrypting data rather than isolating it, while Geofencing restricts device usage based on location and OTA updates relate to software updates, not data segregation.
