A company has a security policy that specifies all endpoint computing devices should be assigned a unique identifier that can be tracked via an inventory management system. Recent changes to airline…

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) provides virtual desktops hosted on servers, which centralizes data but does not manage or assign unique identifiers to the physical tablet device itself.

WS-security secures web service messages, and geo-fencing restricts access based on location, neither of which addresses assigning unique identifiers for physical device inventory.

A Hardware Security Module (HSM) is used to safeguard cryptographic keys and perform cryptographic operations, not to manage or track general endpoint computing devices like tablets.

RFID tagging systems use physical tags for tracking, but the question explicitly states that these tablet devices are difficult to tag, making RFID an unsuitable solution for this specific challenge.

MDM software allows organizations to remotely manage, configure, and secure mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones. It can assign unique identifiers, enforce policies, track inventory, and ensure compliance with security requirements, directly addressing the challenge of managing difficult-to-tag executive tablets without physical tags.

A Security Requirements Traceability Matrix (SRTM) is a documentation tool for mapping requirements, not a technical solution for managing and tracking endpoint devices.
