Explanation
Correct answer is C. MDM (Mobile Device Management).
MDM (Mobile Device Management) allows IT departments to manage and enforce policies on devices, such as ensuring only company-approved software is installed on laptops and other devices. It provides centralized control over software installations, updates, and security policies, making it ideal for enforcing compliance on user devices.
Explanation of other options:
-
EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response): EDR is focused on detecting, responding to, and mitigating security threats at endpoints (e.g., laptops, desktops), but it doesn't manage or enforce software compliance.
-
VPN (Virtual Private Network): A VPN allows secure remote access to a network but does not enforce software compliance or control what software can be installed.
-
SaaS (Software as a Service): SaaS refers to cloud-based software services delivered over the internet, but it doesn’t enforce software installation policies on user laptops.
