The selection of measures that include implementing Mobile Device Management (MDM) policies, encryption, and strong authentication methods is particularly effective for enhancing the security of mobile devices in a workplace environment.

MDM policies allow organizations to manage device settings, enforce security protocols, and remotely wipe devices if they are lost or stolen. This centralized management helps ensure that all mobile devices comply with company security standards.

Encryption is crucial in protecting sensitive data stored on mobile devices. By encrypting data, even if a device is compromised, the information remains unreadable to unauthorized users. This is particularly important in workplaces that handle confidential information.

Strong authentication methods add an additional layer of security by ensuring that only authorized users can access mobile devices and their data. Multi-factor authentication (MFA), for instance, requires users to provide more than just a password, involving something they have and something they know, which significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access.

In contrast, regular software updates and patches, while important for maintaining security, are part of a broader strategy and do not encompass the comprehensive measures included in the selected option. Allowing unrestricted access to all apps poses significant security risks, as malicious applications can lead to data breaches or exploitation. Focusing solely on hardware security neglects the critical
