A company requires that mobile devices used for work must have encrypted storage, screen locks, and remote wipe capability. Which solution enforces these policies?

  1. VPN client
  2. Firewall rules
  3. Mobile Device Management (MDM) ✓
  4. Antivirus software

Correct answer: Mobile Device Management (MDM)

Option C is correct because Mobile Device Management (MDM) is a purpose-built solution that allows organizations to enforce security policies on mobile devices, including mandatory storage encryption, screen lock requirements, and remote wipe capability, all from a centralized management console. Option A (VPN client) provides encrypted network tunnels for secure remote access but has no ability to enforce device-level security policies such as encryption or screen locks. Option B (Firewall rules) control network traffic at a perimeter or host level but cannot enforce security configurations on the mobile device itself. Option D (Antivirus software) protects against malware but does not provide policy enforcement for encryption, screen locks, or remote wipe functionality.
