Field assessors connect tablets over cellular, public Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth peripherals. Which statement best reflects security implications of those connection methods?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Not every radio is the same seatbelt. Cellular, café Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth each bring different eavesdropping and pairing headaches in the field. Pretending they are identical—or that only one matters—misses how assessors actually connect.
Full Explanation
Mobile connection methods carry distinct threat characteristics: cellular generally offers carrier-managed links, Wi-Fi can expose users to rogue access points and eavesdropping on untrusted networks, and Bluetooth introduces pairing and proximity risks with peripherals. Treating all methods as identical or dismissing some entirely leads to incomplete controls. Recognizing those differences supports Domain 4.1 mobile security decisions for field staff.
