A security team wants to implement compliance controls that only permits the installation of company- approved software on user laptops. Which of the following should the IT department deploy?
Correct Answer: C
Mobile Device Management (MDM) allows IT departments to enforce compliance controls, such as restricting the installation of unapproved software, on laptops and mobile devices.
* Why Not A (EDR): Endpoint Detection and Response focuses on detecting and mitigating security threats, not compliance controls.
* Why Not B (VPN): Virtual Private Networks provide secure connections but do not enforce software installation policies.
* Why Not D (SaaS): Software as a Service refers to software delivery models and does not enforce compliance controls.
