Triggering remote data wipe capabilities is an effective measure to mitigate the risk of data leakage. It allows organizations to remotely erase the data on the lost or stolen device to prevent unauthorized access. However, in some cases, the data may still be recoverable if it is not encrypted. Therefore, combining data encryption with remote data wipe provides an even stronger protection against data leakage.

Answer is A Encryption helps keep that data safe because no one can access it without the correct password. Remote data wipe capabilities will be triggered only if the Mobile device is registered to an MDLM system and when it is connected to the internet after it is lost or stolen.
