  Chain of custody documentation is a record of the sequence of custody, control, transfer, analysis, and disposition of physical or electronic evidence. It is important to maintain a chain of custody to ensure the integrity and authenticity of the evidence, and to prevent tampering or contamination. If a laptop that was in the evidence room of a police station is missing, the best reason to refer to chain of custody documentation is to determine which party had the machine and when. This can help to identify the possible suspects, locate the missing laptop, and verify if the evidence on the laptop was compromised or not

• Question 740:

  After a recent mobile OS upgrade to a smartphone, a user attempts to access their corporate email, but the application does not open. A technician restarts the smartphone, but the issue persists. Which of the following is the most likely way to resolve the issue?

  A. Updating the failed software
  B. Registering the smartphone with an MDM solution
  C. Installing a third-party client
  D. Clearing the cache partition
  A. Updating the failed software

  ---

  Explanation

  When a mobile OS is updated, some applications may become incompatible or corrupted due to changes in system files. The best solution is to update the failed software, as the app developer may have released a patch to resolve

  compatibility issues.

  Option B: Registering the smartphone with an MDM solution, Incorrect. MDM (Mobile Device Management) helps with security policies but does not fix application compatibility issues. Option C: Installing a third-party client, Incorrect. Using a

  different app may work but does not resolve the root cause of the issue. Option D: Clearing the cache partition, Incorrect. While clearing the cache can help with performance, it is unlikely to resolve an application not opening due to an OS

  update.
