CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-002) — Question 300

The majority of a company's employees have stated they are unable to perform their job duties due to outdated workstations, so the company has decided to institute BYOD. Which of the following would a security analyst MOST likely recommend for securing the proposed solution?

Answer options

• A. A Linux-based system and mandatory training on Linux for all BYOD users
• B. A firewalled environment for client devices and a secure VDI for BYOD users
• C. A standardized anti-malware platform and a unified operating system vendor
• D. 802.1X to enforce company policy on BYOD user hardware

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, suggests using 802.1X to enforce security policies on BYOD devices, ensuring they comply with company standards before accessing the network. Options A and C focus on specific operating systems or anti-malware solutions, which do not address the broader security policy enforcement necessary for BYOD. Option B, while proposing security measures, does not directly enforce company policy on the devices themselves.
