Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) — Question 41

Which of the following is the BEST way to strengthen the security of corporate data on a personal mobile device?

Answer options

• A. Implementing a strong password policy
• B. Using containerized software
• C. Mandating use of pre-approved devices
• D. Implementing multi-factor authentication

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Using containerized software is the best option as it allows for the separation of corporate data from personal data, thereby enhancing security. While a strong password policy, pre-approved devices, and multi-factor authentication improve security, they do not provide the same level of protection for corporate data on personal devices as containerization does.
