unknown sources or have no work-related features.

A: 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.C: Content filtering usually refers to web site content. It entails inspecting the data on a web page against
a blacklist of unwanted terms and preventing access to that web page.

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.
