A security administrator is configuring policies for corporate-owned, personally enabled (COPE) smartphones. The administrator must ensure that any data exchanged between paired devices over Bluetooth cannot be intercepted by nearby attackers. Which of the following configurations BEST meets this requirement?
Restrict wireless connectivity to WPA3-encrypted Wi-Fi only.
Enabling Secure Simple Pairing (SSP) with the Numeric Comparison method establishes an elliptic-curve Diffie-Hellman key during pairing and encrypts the Bluetooth link, providing protection against eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks. Full-device (at-rest) encryption and strong unlock passcodes safeguard data stored on the handset, not data in transit. Limiting connectivity to WPA3 affects Wi-Fi, not Bluetooth.
