CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-003) — Question 289

Which of the following is the GREATEST security concern with respect to BYOD?

Answer options

• A. The filtering of sensitive data out of data flows at geographic boundaries.
• B. Removing potential bottlenecks in data transmission paths.
• C. The transfer of corporate data onto mobile corporate devices.
• D. The migration of data into and out of the network in an uncontrolled manner.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The greatest security concern with BYOD is the uncontrolled migration of data into and out of the network (D), which can lead to data breaches and loss of sensitive information. While filtering sensitive data (A) and removing bottlenecks (B) are important, they do not pose as immediate a threat as uncontrolled data migration. Transferring corporate data onto mobile devices (C) is a concern, but it is the management of that data flow that is most critical.
