Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) — Question 21

Which of the following is the MOST important security feature an information security manager would need for a mobile device management (MDM) program?

Answer options

• A. Ability to inventory devices
• B. Ability to remotely wipe devices
• C. Ability to locate devices
• D. Ability to push updates to devices

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as the ability to remotely wipe devices is crucial for protecting sensitive data in case a device is lost or stolen. While inventorying devices, locating them, and pushing updates are important, they do not directly address the immediate risk of data exposure that remote wiping mitigates.
