ANSWER: Securing mobile devices requires configuring the device, using mobile management tools, and configuring device app security.

What basic steps are included in securing mobile devices?

Enable a lock screen

What can be enabled to prevent a mobile device from being used until a user enters the correct passcode, such as a pin or password?

OTG

What connection technology allows a mobile device with a USB connection to act as either a host or a peripheral used for external media access?

1234

What PIN is considered to be the most commonly used PIN?

BYOD

Which enterprise deployment model allows users to use their personal mobile devices for business purposes?

infrared

Which of the following can replace using radio frequency (RF) for the communication media?

Security 2 (S2) framework

Which of the following frameworks requires a QR code or PIN on each IoT device for authenticating it to the network, and uses an Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman secure key exchange and a Transport Layer Security (TLS) tunnel?

a video

A QR code can't contain which of the following items directly?

subnotebook

A computer that uses SSD drives and is smaller than a standard notebook is an example of what type of a portable computer?

False

An embedded system is computer hardware and software contained within a smaller system that is designed for a specific function.

False

As a class, tablets are devices that closely resemble standard desktop computers.

ANSWER: Content management is used to support the creation and subsequent editing and modification of digital content by multiple employees. It can include tracking editing history, version control (recording changes and "rolling back" to a previous version if necessary), indexing, and searching.

Describe how content management is used.

ANSWER: 1. Keep the mobile device out of sight when traveling in a high-risk area. 2. Avoid becoming distracted by what is on the device. Always maintain an awareness of your surroundings. 3. When holding a device, use both hands to make it more difficult for a thief to snatch. 4. Do not use the device on escalators or near transit train doors. 5. White or red headphone cords may indicate they are connected to an expensive device. Consider changing the cord to a less conspicuous color. 6. If a theft does occur, do not resist or chase the thief. Instead, take note of the suspect's description, including any identifying characteristics and clothing, and then call the authorities. Also contact the organization or wireless carrier and change all passwords for accounts accessed on the device.

List at least three things that can be done in order to reduce the risk of theft or loss of a mobile device

True

Tethering may allow an unsecured mobile device to infect other tethered mobile devices or the corporate network

False

The greatest asset of a mobile device-its security.

True

The transmission time needed to repeat a signal from one earth station to another is approximately 250 milliseconds

An attacker could create an advertisement for a reputable website, such as a bank, and then include a QR code that contains a malicious URL that redirects an unsuspecting user to an impostor website.

How might an attacker misuse a QR code?

A notebook computer is a smaller version of a laptop computer and is considered a lightweight personal computer. Notebook computers typically weigh less than laptops and are small enough to fit easily inside a briefcase.

Describe a notebook computer in relation to a laptop computer.

1.Users may erase the installed built-in limitations on their smartphone (called jailbreaking on Apple iOS devices or rooting on Android devices) to provide additional functionality. However, this also disables the built-in operating system security features on the phone. 2.Personal mobile devices are often shared among family members and friends, subjecting sensitive corporate data installed on a user's device to outsiders. 3.Different mobile devices have different hardware and different versions of operating systems, all of which contain different levels and types of security features. Technical support staff may be called upon to support hundreds of different mobile devices, creating a nightmare for establishing a security baseline. 4.Mobile devices may be connected to a user's personal desktop computer that is infected, thus infecting the mobile device and increasing the risk of the organization's network becoming infected when the mobile device connects to it. 5.There may be difficulties in securing the personal smartphone from an employee who was fired so that any corporate data on it can be erased.

Describe some of the risks associated with using mobile devices in an enterprise environment.

Simply put, the IoT is connecting any device to the Internet for the purpose of sending and receiving data to be acted upon. Although this definition could encompass laptop computers and tablets, more often IoT refers to devices that heretofore were not considered as computing devices connected to a data network. IoT devices include wearable technology and multifunctional devices as well as many everyday home automation items such as thermostats, coffee makers, tire sensors, slow cookers, keyless entry systems, washing machines, electric toothbrushes, headphones, and light bulbs, to name just a few.
