The chief Risk officer is concerned about the new employee BYOD device policy and has requested the
security department implement mobile security controls to protect corporate data in the event that a
device is lost or stolen. The level of protection must not be compromised even if the communication SIM
is removed from the device. Which of the following BEST meets the requirements? (Select TWO)

A.
Asset tracking

B.
Screen-locks

C.
GEO-Tracking

D.
Device encryption

Explanation:
A: Asset tracking is the process of maintaining oversight over inventory, and ensuring that a device is still
in the possession of the assigned authorized user.
D: Device encryption encrypts the data on the device. This feature ensures that the data on the device
cannot be accessed in a useable form should the device be stolen.
Incorrect Answers:
B: Screen-lock is a security feature that requires the user to enter a password after a short period of
inactivity before they can access the system again. This feature ensures that if your device is left
unattended or is lost or stolen, it will be difficult for anyone else to access your data or applications.
C: GEO tracking and GPS tracking can be used to identify its location of a stolen device and can allow
authorities to recover the device. However, for GPS tracking to work, the device must have an Internet
connection or a wireless phone service over which to send its location information.
