Common mistakes.
- B. OS updates apply security patches and feature enhancements, which protect against vulnerabilities but do not prevent direct physical access to an unattended, unlocked device.
- C. Antivirus software protects against malicious software infections but does not prevent someone from physically accessing an unattended device if it is unlocked or if the screen lock is bypassed.
- D. A BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy is a set of rules for using personal devices in a corporate environment; it is a policy, not a technical control that protects an individual device from direct physical access.
