CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 505

An organization wishes to allow its users to select devices for business use but does not want to overwhelm the service desk with requests for too many different device types and models. Which of the following deployment models should the organization use to BEST meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. VDI environment
• B. CYOD model
• C. DAC mode
• D. BYOD model

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The CYOD model (Choose Your Own Device) allows users to select from a limited set of pre-approved devices, which helps in managing the variety of devices while still offering some choice. In contrast, the VDI environment is focused on virtual desktops rather than physical devices, DAC mode is not a recognized deployment model in this context, and BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) can lead to a wide range of unsupported devices, overwhelming the service desk.
