An organization is leveraging tablets to replace desktop computers shared by shift-based staff. These tablets contain critical business data and are inherently at increased risk of theft. Which of the following will BEST help to mitigate this risk?
For me it's A which is the most targeted, effective measure for this specific threat. MDM is the tool/service that includes the remote wipe capability which is the appropriate technical control needed here.
Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions provide a centralized platform for managing and securing mobile devices, such as tablets. MDM allows organizations to enforce security policies, remotely monitor devices, and, in some cases, implement features like remote wipe capability. By deploying MDM, the organization can have better control over the tablets, enhancing security and mitigating risks associated with theft or loss.
D. Deploy mobile device management (MDM).
Deploying mobile device management (MDM) is the best option to mitigate the increased risk of theft associated with tablets used to store critical business data. MDM solutions provide centralized control and management of mobile devices, including the ability to enforce security policies, track devices, and remotely wipe them if they are lost or stolen. This ensures that even if a tablet is stolen, the organization can remotely erase its data, minimizing the risk of unauthorized access to critical business information.
A mobile device risk assessment is a process of identifying and assessing the risks associated with using mobile devices in the workplace. It can help organizations to identify vulnerabilities in their mobile device security and to develop mitigation strategies.
Mobile device management (MDM) is a software solution that allows organizations to manage mobile devices, such as tablets. MDM can be used to configure tablets, deploy security policies, and track tablet usage. However, MDM cannot prevent theft of tablets.
With MDM, an organization can enforce security policies and controls, such as encryption, password policies, and remote wipe capability, on the tablets. In the event that a tablet is lost or stolen, the MDM solution can be used to remotely wipe the data from the device to prevent unauthorized access to critical business data.
'A' should be the answer, to be least impacted even after the device is stolen.
