What is the MOST common security risk of a mobile device?
The most common security risk for mobile devices is data leakage. Data leakage occurs through various means, including unsecured applications, improper data handling by apps, and inadvertent sharing or loss of devices. These incidents result in sensitive information being exposed more frequently than instances of malware infections or other risks. Detecting and addressing data leakage may not always be straightforward, but it remains a prevalent concern due to the extensive and varied data collected and utilized by mobile applications.
D CISSP 9th ed page 407
D is correct
This page mentions malware infection/malicious code first in the paragraph. Then the rest of the paragraph follows with data leakage, then insecure communications. Not sure which one to choose here since they all are mentioned on page 407
As a follow up to my last comment, this page also mentions that on the CISSP exam, "mobile devices" should include smartphones, tablets, laptops, smart watches, and fitness trackers fyi
Question is about MOST COMMON, not highest threat. B is correct. Even Kiplan's link says that in the initial paragraph.
Answer: D CISSP OSG 9th Edition - page 407. Second paragraph, third sentence
B should be corrected. It mentions "most common" not "most impact".
the question is most common, not the highest risk. The most common is malware as surfing a poor website can introduce malware into the mobile device.
How many times have you seen a malware on a mobile device?
Mobile devices include tablets, laptops, etc.
malware infection is a common security risk for mobile devices, data leakage is the impact.
D. Data leakage ......think of all the apps you installed on your phone. On the other hand, how many times have you had a malware on your phone? For me, never! Imagine all the data leakage that happens with all the apps installed on your phone. D. Data leakage is the correct answer. Guys again stop relying too much on chatgpt. Chatgpt says B. malware which is wrong.
The answer is D A. Data spoofing -Threat B. Malware infection - Threat C. Insecure communications link- Vulnerability D. Data leakage - Risk
Data leakuge is what is the most critical for us. D
I am not sure, but I rarely saw in my life a mobile device infected with malwares, even though no Antimalware software is installed.
This is nice reference about most risk for mobile devices. They put Data Leak first: Data leaks Before installing a new app on your smartphone, you might want to read the fine print. Nearly every smartphone app collects data from your phone, according to Pargman. That info could include your name, date of birth, credit card and bank account information, location history, contact list, photos, and more. Ref: https://www.rd.com/article/mobile-security-threats/ ! Seems D is the answer.
B: Malicious Apps and Websites. Like desktop computers, mobile devices have software and Internet access. Mobile malware (i.e. malicious applications) and malicious websites can accomplish the same objectives (stealing data, encrypting data, etc.)
Data leakage is more common, including device loss, device intrusion, and being seen on the screen, all of which can lead to data leakage
Commingling!!!!!!!!
D is correct!

You must first have malware than follow by data leak. Also not all mobile have important information to leak. Malware can infect a mobile phone than move to another device when its connected to the office network. This seems more logical.
Agree with D. That is the biggest concern of a business. not specifically about malware.. malware that is doing what... question doesnt say. D is clear and is the best answer.
