Configuring Security on Mobile Devices

1 min read
  

Management approved a pilot program in which a controlled group of users can access certain company data from personally-owned mobile devices instead of purchasing corporate mobile devices for employees and contractors. As the Security Architect, you must provide Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) security best practice guidelines for employees to secure any personal mobile device used in the pilot program. Your task is to create a document demonstrating appropriate security settings.
Configure the mobile device security settings as follows, taking screenshots to demonstrate your knowledge:
Android or Apple:

Update your operating system and applications.
Encrypt phone with a strong passcode.
Back up your data.
Limit ad tracking under “Privacy, Advertising.”
Set up SIM card lock.
Disable Bluetooth and/or WiFi when not in use.

Paste screenshots into a Microsoft® Word document to demonstrate you applied appropriate configurations and that definitions are current.
