When tasked with enhancing the ongoing security of an organization's distributed workforce's devices, which of the following is the MOST effective approach?
Perform a quarterly vulnerability scan to identify and resolve security risks on all distributed workforce’s devices.
Reset all user account passwords biannually to ensure the security of device access.
Implement regular updates to the policies governing device management to address new security threats and compliance requirements.
Restrict application installations exclusively to apps from the approved corporate app store.
Implementing regular updates to the policies that govern the management of distributed workforce's devices to account for new security threats and compliance requirements is the optimal strategy for maintaining long-term security. This ensures that the entire fleet meets the latest security standards and that policies are dynamically adjusted in response to emerging threats or compliance mandates. Merely scanning devices for vulnerabilities can identify risks but does not enforce proactive security controls and measures. Restricting app installations to those from approved corporate app stores helps reduce risk; however, without policy updates, this does not address configuration drift, emerging threats, or compliance changes. Biannual password resets, while a practice for user account management, is less effective in maintaining the security of the devices themselves as it does not directly relate to device management or address other types of security updates that may be needed.
