Exam CISSP topic 1 question 266 discussion

Question refers to MDM. Correct answer should be B. Answer C - tracking cellular traffic would be a major privacy concern.

I choose D over B because B doesn't directly provide continuous monitoring or security posture analysis.

CISSP Official Study Guide pg 414 - "Application control or application management is a device-management solution that limits which applications can be installed onto a device. It can also be used to force specific applications to be installed or to enforce the settings of certain applications in order to support a security baseline or maintain other forms of compliance. Using application control can often reduce exposure to malicious applications by limiting the user's ability to install apps that come from unknown sources or that offer non-work- related features. This mechanism is often implemented by an MDM. Without application control, users could theoretically install malicious code, run data stealing software, operate apps that reveal location data, or not install business-necessary applications."

Option B may be relevant to the management of the application, configuration and phone, but it does not address the security monitoring and analysis requirements outlined in the question.

By process of elimination, C and D are excluded due to employee rights to Privacy. A just makes no sense.

These are personal cellular phones - why would you do "C"? What if you are watching porn? Or doing anything you don't want anyone to see! (Privacy)

Mobile application management (MAM) is similar to an MDM but focuses only on app management rather than managing the entire mobile device.
