A company cell phone was stolen from a technician's vehicle. The cell phone has a passcode, but it contains sensitive information about clients and vendors. Which of the following should also be enabled?
Correct Answer: C
Encryption is the process of transforming data into an unreadable format using a secret key or algorithm. It can protect sensitive information from unauthorized access or theft, even if the device is lost or stolen.
Factory reset is the process of restoring a device to its original settings and deleting all user data and applications. It can be used to erase personal information from a device before selling or disposing of it, but it does not prevent data recovery by forensic tools. Therefore, option A is incorrect.
Autolock is the feature that automatically locks a device after a period of inactivity or when the power button is pressed. It can prevent unauthorized access to a device by requiring a passcode, pattern, fingerprint, or face recognition to unlock it. However, it does not protect the data stored on the device from being extracted by other means. Therefore, option B is incorrect.
Two-factor authentication is the method of verifying a user's identity by requiring two pieces of evidence, such as a password and a code sent to a phone or email. It can enhance the security of online accounts and services, but it does not apply to the data stored on a device. Therefore, option D is incorrect.
