CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 543

A company is changing its mobile device policy. The company has the following requirements:

• Company-owned devices
• Ability to harden the devices
• Reduced security risk
• Compatibility with company resources

Which of the following would best meet these requirements?

Answer options

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D (COBO), as it stands for Corporate-Owned, Business-Only devices, which aligns perfectly with the requirements of being company-owned, having the ability to harden the devices, and ensuring reduced security risks. The other options, such as BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) and CYOD (Choose Your Own Device), do not provide the same level of control and security as COBO, and COPE (Corporate-Owned, Personally Enabled) allows for personal use, which could increase security risks.
