Question 1

A company implements MDM to provide secure access to their network for mobile devices. Which feature should be enforced to ensure the devices have secure communication with the network?

Correct Answer: VPN

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) provides secure communication between devices and the network by encrypting data in transit. Remote wipe is for deleting data from lost devices, whitelisting only allows approved applications, and multi-factor authentication verifies users. Containerization separates personal and corporate data, and encryption protects data at rest.

Question 2

A security analyst discovers that employees are using mobile devices with outdated operating systems that contain known security vulnerabilities. Which MDM feature should be used to address this issue?

Correct Answer: Automated OS updates

Automated OS updates ensure that all devices managed by MDM have the latest operating systems, mitigating known security vulnerabilities. Remote wipe is for deleting data from lost devices, whitelisting only allows approved applications, and VPN secures data in transit. Encryption protects data at rest, and geofencing limits device functionality within a geographic area.

Question 3

A company is implementing MDM to manage their employees' mobile devices. The IT manager wants to ensure that only company-approved applications can be installed on devices. Which policy should be enforced?

Correct Answer: Whitelisting

A whitelisting policy allows only approved applications to be installed on devices, whereas a blacklisting policy only blocks specific applications. Geofencing is about limiting device functionality within a geographic area. Containerization separates personal and corporate data. Encryption protects data at rest, and remote wipe deletes data from a lost or stolen device.
