Geofencing is used to define virtual boundaries within which system access controls can be enforced. It leverages technologies like GPS or RFID to create a virtual perimeter for a real-world geographic area, enhancing security by restricting access based on physical location. This is primarily important for managing devices in sensitive areas or ensuring regional compliance requirements. Other options, like device hardening or content filtering, do not directly relate to creating virtual geographic boundaries and are thus incorrect answers for the definition of geofencing.
