Which Mobile Device Management (MDM) capability allows administrators to remotely delete all corporate and personal data from a lost or stolen device?
Answer: Remote wipe
Remote wipe erases all data on a device over the network, ensuring sensitive corporate information cannot be accessed if a device is lost or stolen.
What is the primary security risk of jailbreaking an iOS device or rooting an Android device?
Answer: Removal of OS-level security controls and application sandboxing
Jailbreaking and rooting remove operating system security restrictions and sandboxing, allowing malicious applications to access privileged system resources and other apps' data.
What is the purpose of containerization in enterprise mobile device management (MDM) for BYOD environments?
Answer: Separate and secure corporate data from personal data on the same device
Containerization creates an encrypted, isolated workspace for corporate apps and data on a personal device, keeping it separate from personal content and enabling selective wipe.
Which Bluetooth attack involves sending unsolicited messages to discoverable Bluetooth-enabled devices without the owner's consent?
Answer: Bluejacking
Bluejacking sends unsolicited contact cards or messages to nearby Bluetooth devices using the OBEX protocol, exploiting the device discovery feature.
Which mobile attack intercepts or redirects SMS-based two-factor authentication codes by convincing a carrier to reassign a victim's phone number?
Answer: SIM swapping
SIM swapping (SIM hijacking) involves social engineering a mobile carrier to transfer the victim's phone number to an attacker-controlled SIM, enabling interception of SMS-based 2FA.
Which Bluetooth attack allows unauthorized access to files and data stored on a victim's Bluetooth-enabled device?
Answer: Bluesnarfing
Bluesnarfing exploits vulnerabilities in the Object Exchange (OBEX) protocol to unauthorized access and steal data such as contacts, messages, and calendar entries from a device.
What must a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) security policy primarily address to protect corporate assets?
Answer: Acceptable use, data ownership, and security requirements for personal devices accessing corporate resources
A BYOD policy must define security baselines, acceptable use rules, data ownership and privacy terms, and incident response procedures to protect corporate data on personal devices.
