[All 312-50v13 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.

Since the phishing attack occurred via a third-party email app on an employee’s BYOD device, the best approach is to implement a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution that: - Restricts the installation of non-approved applications, ensuring that only secure and vetted apps are used. - Enforces security policies, such as requiring multi-factor authentication (MFA) and encryption. - Monitors and manages mobile devices while respecting user privacy. This reduces the attack surface while allowing employees to continue using their personal devices under the BYOD policy.

Selected Answer: C
In a BYOD environment, security policies must strike a balance between protecting company data and allowing user autonomy. The issue here is that a third-party email app bypassed corporate security controls, leading to the phishing compromise.

I think we need to raise awareness to our users so that they can spot such attacks on their own devices. It's not easy to restrict installations on personal devices
