Why each option
To best prevent access to sensitive data on lost or stolen smartphones, administrators should implement remote data destruction capabilities.
Enabling screensaver locks provides a basic level of immediate security but does not protect data from a lost or stolen device in the long term, as the device itself remains accessible for potential bypass attempts or data extraction.
Configuring smartphones for remote data destruction, often referred to as a remote wipe, allows an administrator to centrally erase all sensitive data from a lost or stolen device. This capability directly prevents unauthorized access to the data by destroying it, making it the most effective solution in case of loss or theft.
