Which of the following is a security concern regarding users bringing personally-owned devices
that they connect to the corporate network?
A.
Cross-platform compatibility issues between personal devices and server-based applications
B.
Lack of controls in place to ensure that the devices have the latest system patches and
signature files
C.
Non-corporate devices are more difficult to locate when a user is terminated
D.
Non-purchased or leased equipment may cause failure during the audits of company-owned
assets
Correct answer:
B. Lack of controls in place to ensure that the devices have the latest system patches and
signature files
With employees who want to bring their own devices you will have to make them understand why they cannot connect them to the corporate network (Unless BYOD is cleafrly in use)
• You do not want them plugging in a flash drive, let alone a camera, smartphone, tablet computer, or other device, on which company fi les could get intermingled with personal files.
• Allowing this to happen can create situations where data can leave the building that shouldn’t as well as introduce malware to the system.
• Employees should not sync unauthorized smartphones to their work systems.
• Some smartphones use multiple wireless spectrums and unwittingly open up the possibility for an attacker in the parking lot to gain access through the phone to the internal network.
Thus if you do not have controls in place then your network is definitely at risk.
Thankfully, the other x3 answers are so daft that they do not come remotely close as to meeting the specified criteria
A.Cross-platform compatibility issues between personal devices and server-based applications. Most personal devices this day and age are compatible with most platforms.
C.Non-corporate devices are more difficult to locate when a user is terminated
When users are terminated, they will take their own personal (non-corporate) devices with them, so I know exactly where they are: with the user. Also, since the devices does not belong to the corporation, why do I need to locate it?
D. Non-purchased or leased equipment may cause failure during the audits of company-owned assets. This is wrong in many levels
* In here we are talking about “Audit Failures” and not “technical failures”.
* Hence we are talking about asset tracking of corporate devices and leased devices (which are considered to be “corporate” (such as printers)
* Since BYOD are not considered to be corporate devices, then they are very unlikely to cause any “failures” on an audit of corporate devices.
