Explanation
Remote wipe allows an administrator to erase all corporate data from a lost or stolen device, eliminating the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive information. Anti-malware protects against software threats but cannot secure data after physical loss. Locator applications help find the device but do not protect the data if the device is in unauthorized hands. Screen lock slows down an attacker but can be bypassed given enough time or resources. Remote wipe is the only option that ensures data confidentiality regardless of who physically possesses the device.
