Which of the following technical controls helps to prevent Smartphones from connecting to a corporate
network?

A.
Application white listing

B.
Remote wiping

C.

D.
Mobile device management

Explanation:
Mobile device management (MDM) is allows for managing the mobile devices that employees use to
access company resources. MDM is intended to improve security, provide monitoring, enable remote
management, and support troubleshooting. It can be used to push or remove applications, manage data,
and enforce configuration settings on these devices.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Application whitelisting is a form of application security which prevents any software from running on a
system unless it is included on a preapproved exception list. It does not prevent Smartphones from
connecting to a corporate network.B: Remote wipe is the process of deleting data on a device in the event that the device is stolen. This is
performed over remote connections such as the mobile phone service or the internet connection and
helps ensure that sensitive data is not accessed by unauthorized people.
C: An acceptable use policy is a document that defines the acceptable activity, practice, or use for
equipment and resources. However, the policy must still be enforced.
