Exam 220-1102 topic 1 question 41 discussion

I would go with A & E. I don't see how GPS spoofing will prevent this

Block the 3rd party apps.

One of the answers say root. Rootkit has to do with the hacking of an administrator I think, and rootkit is a malware. E just also sounded good to me.

A. Prevent a device root: Rooted devices are more vulnerable to malicious applications and potential security threats. By preventing the device from being rooted, the administrator can enhance security and prevent unauthorized access to system resources. E. Block third-party application installation: Third-party applications pose a significant risk, as they may contain malware or other security vulnerabilities. By blocking third-party application installation, the administrator can ensure that only trusted and vetted applications from official app stores are installed on the device, reducing the risk of malicious software. Options B, C, D, and F are not directly related to securing the device against the described threat

Blocking the way to go

There is one problem with A, the question did not mention whether is an IOS system device or an Android system device. Device root is a term that only works for Android but the question never mentions it. So C E would be a better choice for this question.

A and E. Read the question. The main concern is 3rd party apps and malware that have already been found on the phone. So it's evident that the user is adding 3rd party apps. Again, adding a pin that the user knows and giving him access to install 3rd party apps will on replicate the problem.

A. Prevent a device root. E. Block third-party application installation.

Root detection is a security feature to identify whether the restrictions imposed by manufacturers of Android devices have been bypassed and block the 3rf party apps

I don't see how GPS spoofing will prevent this Phone uses MDM that means that is company phone probably so A and C

I have one question to everyone who chose answer A. How exactly are You going to prevent root? I'm curious because I can't find anything about it on google

GPS spoofing has nothing to do with the issue after the device was reset.

zot fou zot. Ena sois pagla, sois latet perdi. Merci

A. Prevent a device root and C. Require a PIN on the unlock screen would be the best steps the administrator can take to help secure the device against this threat in the future. Preventing a device root can help prevent unauthorized changes to the device's operating system or file system, which can be used to install malicious applications. Requiring a PIN on the unlock screen can help prevent unauthorized access to the device if it is lost or stolen. Disabling biometric authentication, enabling developer mode, and preventing GPS spoofing may not necessarily address the specific threat of malicious applications. Blocking third-party application installation may also be an option, but it may not be practical for some users who need to install legitimate third-party applications.

Can someone please tell me what Device Root is in their own words?

The two actions the administrator should take to help secure the device against this threat in the future are: A. Prevent a device root: Rooting a device can bypass the security measures put in place by the manufacturer or MDM software, making the device vulnerable to attacks. C. Require a PIN on the unlock screen: This can help prevent unauthorized access to the device in case it gets lost or stolen. Therefore, options A and C are the correct answers. Disabling biometric authentication (option B) can make the device less secure as biometric authentication is often more secure than a PIN or password. Enabling developer mode (option D) can also make the device more vulnerable as it can allow unrestricted access to the device's software and settings. Preventing GPS spoofing (option F) is not directly related to securing the device against malicious applications. Option E, blocking third-party application installation, is also a good security measure, but it's not mentioned that the malicious applications were installed from third-party sources.

As a previous Mobile Technician, most of the MDM device I work on you can't install third party application, and also can't flash anything on it answer is a and e
