A company's BYOD policy states that only approved applications may be installed on employee devices that access corporate email. The IT team needs a way to prevent installation of unapproved apps while still allowing employees to use their devices for personal purposes. Which approach best meets this requirement?

Monitor app installation logs weekly and manually remove any unapproved apps found.

Use an MDM with application whitelisting that blocks installation of apps not on the approved list, while allowing personal apps in a separate container.

Allow all apps but require employees to sign a waiver accepting the risk of malware.

Require employees to factory reset their devices and only install apps from the corporate app store.

Which method is commonly used to deploy software updates to multiple endpoints in an organization?

Centralized patch management system

Distributing updates via email attachments

Using a peer-to-peer file sharing network

Manual installation on each endpoint by the user

A company allows employees to use personal smartphones for work email. The security policy requires that work data be protected if a device is lost or stolen, and that only approved apps can access corporate resources. Which solution best enforces both requirements?

Provide a company-owned phone to every employee and disable personal app stores.

Ask employees to set a screen lock PIN and manually avoid installing unknown apps.

Implement a mobile device management (MDM) solution that enforces device encryption and creates an approved app whitelist for corporate access.

Use a containerization app that separates work data and requires a passcode, but allow any app to be installed.

An organization is implementing a BYOD program. The security team must ensure that employee-owned devices can access corporate resources only if they meet minimum security requirements. Which approach is most effective?

Allow any device to access corporate Wi-Fi but restrict access to the internet only.

Provide employees with a list of recommended security settings and trust them to configure their devices correctly.

Create a separate guest network for BYOD devices and monitor traffic for anomalies.

Require devices to be enrolled in MDM and pass a compliance check (encryption, OS version, and no jailbreak/root) before accessing corporate resources.
