Which of the following presents the GREATEST risk to corporate data pertaining to mobile device usage?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Replicating privileged access to a user's own mobile device presents the greatest risk to corporate data. This is because it potentially allows unauthorized access to sensitive information if the device is lost, stolen, or compromised. Privileged access means having elevated permissions that are typically reserved for administrators. When such access is available on a personal device, it bypasses many of the security controls that a company would normally have in place.

Option A, remote wipe, is actually a security feature that can protect data if a device is lost or stolen. Option B, lack of training, can increase risk but does not directly expose data like privileged access does. Option C, devices not obtained through corporate provisioning, can be a risk, but this risk is generally less than that of replicating privileged access.

Definitely. I'm going with D as well. The other options are important, but they don't hold a candle to the risk of privileged access getting out there.

Haha, yikes! That must have been a fun conversation with the boss. But you're right, privileged access is the biggest issue here. Can't trust people to keep that stuff secure on their own devices.

You guys are spot on. I remember one time our IT guy accidentally sent his login credentials to his personal email. That was a heart attack waiting to happen.

Yeah, I'd go with D. Privileged access is just a massive security hole. Better to keep that stuff on company-issued devices that can be properly managed.

I agree with that. If an employee has access to sensitive corporate data on their personal device, that's a recipe for disaster. Remote wipe is important, but it's not as big of a risk as giving people too much access.

This is a tricky question. I think the biggest risk is privileged access being replicated to the user's own mobile device. That's a huge security vulnerability waiting to happen.
