The information stored on our networks, such as research data, training materials, and company memos, could potentially be very valuable to competitors and foreign governments alike. In order to safeguard this information, we require that all employees adhere to strict password and data encryption policies and complete a training course detailing steps to avoid theft or loss of company-issued physical assets, such as laptops and mobile phones. Employees who fail to comply with those policies and follow the steps described in the training course are compromising the security of the company's intellectual property and will face stern consequences.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If the statements above are all true, which of the following can properly be inferred on the basis of them?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>(A) Competitors and foreign governments might be able to use the company's laptops to access information stored on its networks.<\/p>\n<p>(B) Employees who repeatedly fail to comply with the password and data encryption policies will most likely face termination.<\/p>\n<p>(C) The company competes, either directly or indirectly, with at least one foreign government.<\/p>\n<p>(D) Employees who have not yet completed the training course detailing steps to avoid theft or loss of company issued physical assets are likely to have their their laptops or mobile phones stolen.<\/p>\n<p>(E) Employees use company issued physical assets, such as laptops and mobile phones, to store research data, training materials, and company memos.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/forum\/qotd-in-order-to-maintain-the-competitive-edge-our-company-243990.html\">Question Discussion &amp; Explanation<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Correct Answer<\/strong>\u00a0- <span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">A<\/span>\u00a0-\u00a0(click and drag your mouse to see the answer)<br \/>\n<strong>Like these questions?<\/strong>\u00a0Get the\u00a0<b><a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/tests-beta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/tests-beta\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1494346763458000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGPuQLeF_71bLsXGDQ7KbNaq3jUAA\">GMAT Club CAT\u2019s<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quant If is a negative integer and , then what is the value of twice the maximum possible value of minus the minimum possible value of ?
