Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) — Question 97

For an enterprise implementing a bring your own device (BYOD) program, which of the following would provide the BEST security of corporate data residing on unsecured mobile devices?

Answer options

• A. Device certification process
• B. Acceptable use policy
• C. Containerization solution
• D. Data loss prevention (DLP)

Correct answer: C

Explanation

A containerization solution is the best choice as it allows for the separation of corporate data from personal data, thus providing a secure environment for sensitive information. The other options, while important, do not offer the same level of security for corporate data on personal devices as they focus more on policy or general device management rather than data segregation.
