Question

Alan is the security manager for a mid-sized business. The company has suffered several serious data losses when mobile devices were stolen. Alan decides to implement full disk encryption on all mobile devices. What risk response did Alan take?

Answer 1

Disk encryption is highly risky response.

Explanation:

To protect or loss of serial data loss on mobile devices it is not advisable to implement full disk encrypted. Once full disk encrypted is implemented mobile access is very slow. End-user will complain to IT administrator.

Best solution either removes unwanted or unauthorized application from mobile to protect the data loss. Install antivirus program in each mobile.

Access or permission to application is removed so that mobile data loss can be avoided.  End user should also be advised not to click on any link which they receive through SMS messages or other through any applications.
