In case a device is lost or stolen, there is a risk of work data being compromised. To enhance data security in such scenarios, the IT admin can enforce a password policy on the device and configure a limit for the maximum number of failed attempts. If the number of failed attempts exceeds the defined threshold, the device will be automatically wiped to protect the corporate data.
