Show Answer
Correct Answer: AB

The most important control to implement when senior managers use smartphones to access sensitive company information is remote wipe capability. This allows the organization to remotely erase data from a lost or stolen device, protecting sensitive company information from falling into the wrong hands. Ensuring that sensitive data can be swiftly removed in case of a security breach is vital for maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of the company's information.

A states: Centralized device ADMINISTRATION, not management. If it was Centralized device management then this would cover remote wipe. But administration does not cover wipe capability.

A says administration, not management. It could be a typo or they are just really trying to trick you. So based on the options B, Remote wipe.

I think they basically are just trying to throw you off since administration=management in most cases. So A should be the correct answer since it covers B.
