A company is adding a clause to its AUP that states employees are not allowed to modify the operating system on mobile devices. Which of the following vulnerabilities is the organization addressing?
Jailbreaking is a process in which an individual gains unauthorized access to the operating system of a mobile device, typically to remove software restrictions imposed by the manufacturer or carrier. This allows users to install unauthorized apps and make modifications to the device's operating system, which can create security risks and expose the device to potential threats and vulnerabilities.
By adding a clause to the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) that prohibits employees from modifying the operating system on mobile devices, the company aims to prevent the practice of jailbreaking, which helps mitigate potential security risks associated with unauthorized software modifications.

C. Jailbreaking.
Jailbreaking refers to the process of removing software restrictions imposed by the operating system manufacturer or carrier on mobile devices. By jailbreaking a device, users can gain root access to the device's operating system, allowing them to install unauthorized apps, modify system files, and bypass security mechanisms. However, jailbreaking can also introduce security risks, as it may make the device more vulnerable to malware, exploits, and other security threats. Therefore, prohibiting employees from modifying the operating system through jailbreaking helps mitigate these risks and maintain the security of company-owned mobile devices.
as an update, according to Professor Messer, gaining unauthorized access on IoS is jailbreaking, on Android is rooting and downloading unauthorized apps is sideloading
C. Jailbreaking is the only option here which tempers at the OS level
