Correct answer: Remote wipe.
Why this is the answer
Remote wipe is the best solution because it allows an administrator to remotely erase all data from a lost or stolen device, preventing unauthorized access to sensitive company information. This directly addresses the scenario where a threat actor gained access to a stolen device. Application management focuses on controlling app installations and usage, but wouldn't prevent data access if the device is compromised. Full disk encryption protects data at rest, but once the device is unlocked (as it was with the stolen credentials), the data becomes accessible. Containerization isolates corporate data within a secure container, but a remote wipe capability is still needed to fully secure the device if it's stolen and the container is accessed.
