• Question 141:

  An MDM report shows that a user's company cell phone has unauthorized applications installed. The device has recently checked into the MDM server, and the company still has access to remotely wipe the device. Which of the following describes the action the user has performed?

  A. Obtained root access
  B. Upgraded the OS
  C. Installed a VPN
  D. Uninstalled the MDM software
  A. Obtained root access

  Explanation

  If an MDM (Mobile Device Management) solution detects unauthorized applications, it is likely that the user has rooted (Android) or jailbroken (iOS) the device to bypass security restrictions. Root access allows the user to install unauthorized

  applications that MDM policies would normally block.

  Option B: Upgraded the OS, Incorrect. Upgrading the OS does not bypass security policies or allow unauthorized apps.

  Option C: Installed a VPN, Incorrect. A VPN does not affect the MDM system or allow unauthorized apps.

  Option D: Uninstalled the MDM software, Incorrect. If the MDM software was removed, the device would not still be reporting to the MDM server.

• Question 150:

  A user lost a company tablet that was used for customer intake at a doctor's office. Which of the following actions would BEST protect against unauthorized access of the data?

  A. Changing the office's Wi-Fi SSID and password
  B. Performing a remote wipe on the device
  C. Changing the user's password
  D. Enabling remote drive encryption
  B. Performing a remote wipe on the device

  ---

  Explanation

  The best action to protect against unauthorized access of the data on the lost company tablet is to perform a remote wipe on the device. A remote wipe is a feature that allows an administrator or a user to erase all the data and settings on a device remotely, usually through a web portal or an email command. A remote wipe can help prevent the data from being accessed or compromised by anyone who finds or steals the device. Changing the office's Wi-Fi SSID and password may prevent the device from connecting to the office network but may not prevent the data from being accessed locally or through other networks. Changing the user's password may prevent the device from logging in to the user's account but may not prevent the data from being accessed by other means or accounts. Enabling remote drive encryption may protect the data from being read by unauthorized parties but may not be possible if the device is already lost or turned off.
