The question is talking bout company provided devices only, and they want to prevent two things: 1. the device being lost (because it cost money to replace), and 2. company data If it does get lost, Geolocation can help locate the device and Remote Wipe can erase all company data, if company device does get compromise. This will prevent "lost phones from performing social media attacks"....as it says in the scenario.

Gents, here's what ChatGP says: One thing to notice, Chat assumes that FDE means the phone is also locked, so A. Screen lock would be redundant. Correct Answers: B. Remote wipe C. Full device encryption

AB with today standards. IOS/Androids are encrypted by default and that 99% of the market. I think A more likely than C.

After reading the comments. I have to go with A and B. Full disk encryption would be useless if you can access the device. Cant assume everyone puts a lock on their phone or mobile device.

BF - the issues isn't the social engineering attack; the issue is employees losing the phones. Geolocation will help them find them.

Exactly.....I agree. The scenario clearly says that "lost phones were used maliciously to perform social engineering attacks against other employees." To avoid "lost phones" implement geolocation. To avoid compromised data, implement remote wipe. B and F is the answer.

AB. Auto lock phones help prevent random apple picking. Always have the ability remote wipe FDE is nothing if the apple/android pin is known by snooping over a shoulder before picking them.

Screen lock is more important than FDE. If the attacker has the code then FDE is irrelevant.

C = Doesn't matter if the bad actor has the unlock code. D = WTF E = Doesn't matter if the phone is offline. F = That only helps to locate it (maybe).

Its A and B. Full disk encryption will not prevent social engineering. Geolocation also has nothing to do with it as well. The question specifically says how to prevent social engineering attacks. So a lock screen and remote wipe are the only correct responses.

I feel the answer must be screen locks and Remote wipe. The screen locks prevent the threat actors from performing social engineering on other employees. In the meantime providing admins enough time to take necessary actions such a remote wipe.
