Difficulty: HardMobile Device Synchronization and Cloud Integration

An IT technician is deploying smartphones for corporate executives who travel frequently. The executives require real-time, two-way synchronization of corporate emails, calendar appointments, and contact lists across both mobile devices and desktop clients. Additionally, security policy mandates that the IT department must be capable of removing corporate data from lost or stolen devices without clearing personal photos, personal applications, or user settings. Which protocol and administration configuration best satisfies these requirements?

  1. Configure Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) combined with Mobile Application Management (MAM) policies.Answer
  2. B
    Configure POP3 with SSL/TLS combined with Mobile Device Management (MDM) full-device wipe permissions.
  3. C
    Configure IMAP over secure port connections combined with Mobile Device Management (MDM) device-level profiles.
  4. D
    Reprovision the cellular SIM card IMSI profile to enable hardware-level containerization and secure synchronization.

Answer

Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) combined with Mobile Application Management (MAM) policies.
Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) is specifically designed for mobile devices to provide real-time, two-way synchronization of emails, calendar items, and contact lists. Pairing EAS with Mobile Application Management (MAM) enforces containerization, enabling administrators to selectively wipe corporate data from enterprise apps without erasing the employee's personal files, applications, or photos.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the synchronization requirement
Real-time, two-way sync for mail, calendars, and contacts requires Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) or a fully unified sync protocol.
POP3 only fetches inbox messages, and standard IMAP handles email folders but does not natively sync contacts or calendars.
2
Identify the security wipe requirement
Selective wiping of corporate data without altering personal photos or files requires Mobile Application Management (MAM).
MAM controls enterprise app containers, allowing administrators to wipe corporate data independently of personal device contents.
3
Synthesize the optimal configuration
Deploy Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) alongside Mobile Application Management (MAM) container policies.
This combination fulfills both multi-data-type synchronization and granular data security management.
