CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 359

A company would like to provide flexibility for employees on device preference. However, the company is concerned about supporting too many different types of hardware. Which of the following deployment models will provide the needed flexibility with the greatest amount of control and security over company data and infrastructure?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, CYOD (Choose Your Own Device), allows employees to select from a list of pre-approved devices, maintaining control and security over company data while still offering flexibility. BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) introduces more risk, as employees can use any device, potentially leading to security issues. COPE (Corporate Owned, Personally Enabled) and VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) offer less flexibility as they either restrict device choice or require a virtual environment, respectively.
