CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 79

An organization would like to give remote workers the ability to use applications hosted inside the corporate network. Users will be allowed to use their personal computers, or they will be provided organization assets. Either way, no data or applications will be installed locally on any user systems. Which of the following mobile solutions would accomplish these goals?

Answer options

• A. VDI
• B. MDM
• C. COPE
• D. UTM

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure), allows users to access applications hosted on a remote server without installing them locally on their devices. Other options like MDM (Mobile Device Management) focus on managing devices rather than providing access to applications, COPE (Corporate Owned, Personally Enabled) involves a hybrid use of devices which may still lead to local installations, and UTM (Unified Threat Management) pertains to security rather than remote application access.
