Difficulty: MediumMobile Device Synchronization and Cloud Integration

A corporate executive needs to synchronize documents, calendars, and contacts between a mobile device and a desktop workstation. Due to strict compliance regulations, corporate data is strictly prohibited from transiting external cloud infrastructure or third-party servers. Which synchronization configuration best satisfies these security and operational requirements?

  1. Direct local synchronization using desktop vendor software over a physical USB connection or local network pairingAnswer
  2. B
    Cloud-based Exchange ActiveSync configured with SSL/TLS encryption for all sync traffic
  3. C
    Enrolling the device in Mobile Application Management (MAM) to enforce encrypted app containers
  4. D
    Connecting the mobile device using a Type-C cable to a port configured exclusively for DisplayPort Alt Mode

Answer

Direct local synchronization using desktop vendor software over a physical USB connection or local network pairing
Direct local synchronization allows a mobile device to sync contacts, calendars, and files directly with a host PC using a physical USB cable or local Wi-Fi pairing software without relying on intermediate cloud servers.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze operational constraints
Corporate policy strictly forbids data from transiting external cloud infrastructure or third-party servers.
This rules out cloud-hosted synchronization protocols like Exchange ActiveSync, cloud storage services, or webmail sync.
2
Evaluate valid synchronization methods
Direct local sync connects the mobile endpoint directly to the target desktop host via USB or local network pairing.
Local synchronization ensures data remains within the local security boundary without reaching outside networks.
