Question 19

Case-Based Critical Thinking Questions Case 15-1 IBF Consultants, LLC provides consulting services in privacy and theft deterrence solutions. One of their clients has very sensitive data and they are less concerned about recovering any stolen computer than ensuring that the data located on the computer is not compromised. Which of the following technologies would be useful in this case?
A)kill switch hard drives
B)surge suppressors
C)DataDots
D)keylogging software

Accepted Answer

Kill switch hard drives would be the best choice in this case because it would help ensure that the sensitive data on the computer is not compromised. If the computer is stolen, the hard drive can be remotely wiped clean, effectively erasing all of the sensitive information stored on it. Surge suppressors only protect against power surges, DataDots are used for forensic tracking, and keylogging software is used to record keystrokes for monitoring purposes. None of these technologies directly address the client's concern about protecting sensitive data.

D)Detection technology

Accepted Answer

Presence technology refers to the ability of devices on a network to identify and locate each other, as well as determine whether they are available or currently in use. This can be useful for applications such as instant messaging, online gaming, and mobile device management. Computer monitoring, digital surveillance, and detection technology are all related concepts, but they generally refer to more specific types of monitoring or surveillance activities rather than the general ability to identify and track devices on a network.
