Question #: 24
Topic #: 4

[All Cybersecurity-Audit-Certificate Questions]

Which of the following mobile computing trends should cause the GREATEST concern for an organization that needs to protect sensitive organizational data?

AFluctuating size of form factors for mobile devices

BIncreasing amount of storage space available on mobile devices

CExpanding availability of mobile network coverage

DGrowing consumer demand for advanced mobile technologies

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The increasing amount of storage space available on mobile devices poses the greatest concern for organizations needing to protect sensitive data. Larger storage capacities allow for more data to be stored on a device, which can include sensitive organizational information. If such a device is lost, stolen, or compromised, the potential for sensitive data to be accessed increases significantly. Additionally, the more data a device can hold, the more attractive it becomes as a target for attackers.

Reference= ISACA's resources highlight the risks associated with mobile devices' storage capabilities, especially when they contain sensitive organizational data.The threats, vulnerabilities, and risks related to the storage of sensitive data on mobile devices are discussed, emphasizing the importance of protecting such data from unauthorized access123.

D is concerning too, but I feel like it's more about user behavior.

I think fluctuating form factors might not be as critical as the other options, but I remember a practice question that emphasized how device size can impact security features.

I feel like the growing demand for advanced mobile technologies could lead to less secure devices being used, but I can't recall if that was a major focus in our studies.

I’m not sure, but I think expanding mobile network coverage could also be a concern since it might make it easier for unauthorized access to sensitive data.

Hmm, expanding mobile network coverage could be a concern if it makes it easier for unauthorized access to sensitive data. I'll have to weigh that against the other options.

This seems like a straightforward performance evaluation question. I'd go with option D - Performance tools. That's likely the best way to assess the application's ability to handle more users while maintaining responsiveness.
