An employee who was working remotely lost a mobile device containing company data. Which of the following provides the best solution to prevent future data loss?
Full Disk Encryption (FDE) ensures that all data stored on the device is encrypted, making it inaccessible without proper authentication (such as a password or biometric verification). If the mobile device is lost or stolen, the data remains secure because it is encrypted. This helps protect sensitive company data even if the device is no longer in the employee’s possession.
Not A. MDM (Mobile Device Management): While MDM is excellent for managing devices, enforcing security policies, and remotely wiping or locking a lost device, it doesn't directly address the encryption of data. It's more focused on managing device configurations and enforcing security policies.
Full Disk Encryption (FDE) is the best solution to prevent data loss in this scenario. It encrypts all data stored on the device, including the operating system, applications, and user data. This ensures that even if the device is lost or stolen, the data remains inaccessible to unauthorized individuals.
While several measures can help mitigate data loss from lost or stolen devices, the best solution to prevent future data loss in this scenario is a combination of Full Disk Encryption (FDE) and Mobile Device Management (MDM), with a strong emphasis on remote wipe capability within the MDM solution.
Mobile Device Management (MDM) is a solution specifically designed to manage, monitor, and secure mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, that access company data. MDM allows administrators to enforce security policies on these devices, such as requiring encryption, enforcing password requirements, and remotely wiping devices in the event of loss or theft. This would be the best solution to prevent future data loss in a scenario where an employee loses a mobile device containing sensitive company data
