Tom wants to use geographic restrictions as part of his security design. What type of tool is commonly used to manage geographic restrictions for mobile devices?

Answer Options

A

EDR

B

MDM

C

802.1X

D

VPNs

Correct Answer: B

Explanation

Mobile device management (MDM) tools are often used to enforce geographic restrictions on devices by using GPS and Wi-Fi to determine where they are and to limit their access to sensitive systems or data if they are not in an allowed geographic boundary. This often matches being in a specific office building with known Wi-Fi for highly sensitive access or work hour requirements. Endpoint detection and response (EDR) is used to counter ransomware and other malicious software, 802.1X is used to control access to networks, and VPNs are used to provide site-to-site connectivity through untrusted networks as well as to location shift devices.
