Question #: 139
Topic #: 1
[All 312-50v12 Questions]

You are a cybersecurity consultant for a global organization. The organization has adopted a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)policy, but they have recently experienced a phishing incident where an employee's device was compromised. In the investigation, you discovered that the phishing attack occurred through a third-party email app that the employee had installed. Given the need to balance security and user autonomy under the BYOD policy, how should the organization mitigate the risk of such incidents? Moreover, consider a measure that would prevent similar attacks without overly restricting the use of personal devices.

  • A. Provide employees with corporate-owned devices for work-related tasks.
  • B. Require all employee devices to use a company-provided VPN for internet access.
  • C. Implement a mobile device management solution that restricts the installation of non-approved applications.
  • D. Conduct regular cybersecurity awareness training, focusing on phishing attacks.

I have to go with C. If in fact MDM can be applied to BYOD, then C is the correct answer. D mitigates nothing.

Selected Answer: D
While MDM should be implemented, the restriction of installation of non-approved applications does not solve this particular issue, because the problem is not with the app itself. No matter which email app you install on your phone, if the staff is not trained on phishing, he can still fall prey to email scams, including those on approved email apps.

BYOD is a personal device, MDM fails in real life as users don't support the idea. C would be preferred but D is more practical.

According to the book, as stated by insaniunt (Module 17 Page 2713) it is C. However, in outside the context of the exam, for BYOD MDM is not recommended and companies prefer MAM (Mobile App Management) instead for such a scenario.
