A company has a remote workforce using a mix of company-managed laptops and personal devices. The IT team needs to provide access to internal applications while ensuring that company data is not stored on personal devices. They also need to support employees who have unreliable internet connections. Which solution best meets these requirements?

Deploy a cloud-based virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) that streams applications to any device

Provide employees with USB drives to carry company data

Require all employees to use a VPN client on their devices

Expose RDP ports to the internet for direct remote desktop access

What is the most important first step to secure a home Wi-Fi router for remote work?

Disable the SSID broadcast to hide the network

Place the router in a central location for better signal strength

Connect all devices using Ethernet cables

Change the default administrator username and password

A remote employee frequently works from a coffee shop with public Wi-Fi. The employee needs to access a web-based internal application that does not support VPN. Which additional measure would best protect the data transmitted?

Use a browser extension that blocks ads

Use a personal hotspot from a mobile phone instead of the public Wi-Fi

Disable the laptop's Wi-Fi and use an Ethernet cable

Turn off the laptop's firewall to improve connectivity

A remote employee’s laptop is lost during travel. The laptop has full-disk encryption enabled and requires a PIN to boot. The employee had sensitive files stored locally. Which statement best describes the security status of the data on the laptop?

The data is unrecoverable because the laptop is lost and the encryption key is stored only on the device.

The data is safe because the laptop is password-protected at the operating system level.

The data is protected from unauthorized access as long as the encryption key is not compromised.

The data is at risk because full-disk encryption only protects files, not the operating system.

A remote employee's home router was recently compromised, and the attacker changed the DNS settings. The employee's work laptop is now redirecting to malicious websites. What should the employee do first?

Run a virus scan on the work laptop

Change the Wi-Fi password and reconnect all devices

Reset the router to factory defaults and reconfigure it with strong settings

Disconnect the work laptop and use a mobile hotspot
