An organization is implementing a bring your own device (BYOD) policy. What would be BEST for mitigating the risk of users managing their own devices and potentially bringing in malware?
A.
Setting up access control lists (ACL) for these devices.
B.
Installing a firewall on the organization’s primary network.
C.
Setting up a separate network within the organization’s demilitarized zone (DMZ).
D.
Setting up a separate, external wired or wireless network dedicated to these devices.
Answer D) Setting up a separate, external wired or wireless network dedicated to these devices.
"Many organizations set up a dedicated BYOD network, usually wireless, and
this network is the only one that BYOD devices can directly connect to"

The best option to mitigate risk "for user managed devices" would be not to introduce a potentially infected device to your network to begin with. Remember, BYOD does not mean that the device has to directly connect to the network to be used....it can be used just for company emails and that only requires internet access.
A or B won't help detect if a phone is infected.
C still introduces a possibly infected device to your network. Remember, you may have other servers (usually web servers) in the DMZ.
This question sucks, If BYOD only need access to internet then D , IF they need access to company then we tunnel those users straight into their own DMZ
this is not a correct question. BYOD devices have access to company resources. If you are going to block their access, what's the point to allowing them to BYOD?
This concept will require a dedicated isolated wireless
network to restrict BYOD devices from interacting directly with
company resources other than through the VDI solution.
Example would be creation of a Guest network with internet access only and not allowing access to corporate resources.
