Question

A school contracts with a vendor to devise a solution that will enable the school library to lend out tablet computers to students while on site. The tablets must adhere to string security and privacy practices. The school's key requirements are to:

✑ Maintain privacy of students in case of loss
✑ Have a theft detection control in place
✑ Be compliant with defined disability requirements
✑ Have a four-hour minimum battery life

Which of the following should be configured to BEST meet the requirements? (Choose two.)

A. Remote wiping
B. Geofencing
C. Antivirus software
D. TPM
E. FDE
F. Tokenization

Answer 1

To meet the school library's requirements for tablet computer security and privacy, the best options are A. Remote wiping, to maintain student privacy in the event of a loss, and B. Geofencing, for theft detection control.

Step-by-step explanation:

To ensure the school library's tablet computers are used securely and with privacy considerations, the best two configurations to meet the requirements listed would be:

A. Remote wiping - This feature allows the school to erase data from a tablet remotely in case it gets lost, ensuring the students' privacy is maintained by removing sensitive information.

B. Geofencing - This uses GPS or RFID technology to create a virtual boundary around the school. If a tablet is taken outside this boundary, alerts can be triggered, and actions such as locking the device can be taken to prevent theft and unauthorized use.

The other options, such as Antivirus software, TPM, FDE, and Tokenization, while valuable for different aspects of security, do not specifically address the requirements of privacy in case of loss or theft detection as directly as remote wiping and geofencing do.

Configurations like TPM (D) and FDE (E) enhance the overall security of the devices and might indirectly contribute to theft prevention and privacy, but they're not as focused on these requirements as the chosen options.
