Disk encryption (A) ✅ Protects data at rest by encrypting the entire contents of the laptop’s hard drive. If a laptop is stolen, the data remains inaccessible without the proper decryption key or password, effectively protecting sensitive company information.
It’s funny how in this scenario it’s easy picking but as soon as you apply the same scenario but with remote wipe as one of the options, you’ll have a pretty even split of answers between remote wipe and disk encryption.
remote wipe is only important when the thief has the laptops login creds aswell (is in rest state)
