CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 34

A company is using a mobile device deployment model in which employees use their personal devices for work at their own discretion. Some of the problems the company is encountering include the following:
✑ There is no standardization.
✑ Employees ask for reimbursement for their devices.
✑ Employees do not replace their devices often enough to keep them running efficiently.
✑ The company does not have enough control over the devices.
Which of the following is a deployment model that would help the company overcome these problems?

Answer options

• A. BYOD
• B. VDI
• C. COPE
• D. CYOD

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is CYOD (Choose Your Own Device), which allows employees to select from a list of approved devices, ensuring standardization and better control. BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) can lead to the issues described, as it permits employees to use any device without restrictions. VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) and COPE (Corporate-Owned, Personally Enabled) do not directly address the problem of device choice and reimbursement issues faced by the company.
