Zorluk: OrtaMobile Application Support and Security Settings

An IT security analyst at a software consulting firm discovers that several sales representatives using company-owned Android smartphones downloaded an unapproved lead-tracking utility directly from a third-party website using their mobile browsers. To prevent future security risks associated with unauthorized software installations, which configuration setting should the system administrator enforce on all managed mobile devices?

  1. Disable the installation of applications from unknown sourcesCevap
  2. B
    Issue a full remote device wipe command across the Mobile Device Management (MDM) profile
  3. C
    Rebind the cellular subscriber profile using the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number
  4. D
    Switch mobile email synchronization from ActiveSync to POP3 protocol settings

Cevap

Disable the installation of applications from unknown sources
Disabling application installations from unknown sources enforces corporate security policy by prohibiting users from downloading and installing executable packages (such as APK files) from untrusted websites outside official app stores.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the reported security risk.
Users are downloading and installing unapproved APK files directly from web browsers outside official app stores (sideloading).
Installing apps from unverified sources bypasses standard repository security vetting.
2
Identify the appropriate preventative administrative control.
Enforce a policy restricting installation from unknown sources.
This setting restricts mobile OS installation permissions so only signed applications from authorized repositories can be installed.
