What is the primary purpose of using a biometric authentication method such as a fingerprint scanner on a mobile device?

To create a backup of the device

To verify the user's identity based on unique physical characteristics

To encrypt all data on the device

A company's sales team uses smartphones to capture photos of contracts and upload them to a CRM. The team often works in areas with poor connectivity. The IT department wants to ensure that the photos are not lost if a device is damaged or stolen, and that they are encrypted both on the device and during transmission. Which approach best meets these requirements?

Enable automatic encrypted backup to the corporate cloud whenever connectivity is available, and enforce full-disk encryption on the devices.

Store photos only on the device's internal storage and rely on the CRM to sync when connected.

Use a third-party cloud storage app that is not managed by IT.

Require the sales team to manually upload photos to the CRM at the end of each day.

What is a recommended practice when restoring data from a backup to a new mobile device?

Verify the backup is from a trusted source and is recent

Restore the backup only after disabling all security features

Only restore backups that are older than one year

Restore the backup multiple times to ensure completeness

A user installs a weather app that requests access to the device's precise location. The user is concerned about privacy and does not want the app to track their exact movements. What should the user do?

Grant the permission because the app needs it to provide accurate weather.

Uninstall the app and never use weather apps.

Grant the permission but turn off location services globally.

Deny the location permission or grant only approximate location access if the app supports it.

Why should you review the privacy settings on your mobile device regularly?

To ensure apps only have access to data they need

To increase the device's storage capacity

To improve the device's signal strength
