Actual exam question from ECCouncil's 312-50v12
Question #: 139
Topic #: 1
[All 312-50v12 Questions]

You are a cybersecurity consultant for a global organization. The organization has adopted a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)policy, but they have recently experienced a phishing incident where an employee's device was compromised. In the investigation, you discovered that the phishing attack occurred through a third-party email app that the employee had installed. Given the need to balance security and user autonomy under the BYOD policy, how should the organization mitigate the risk of such incidents? Moreover, consider a measure that would prevent similar attacks without overly restricting the use of personal devices.

  • A. Provide employees with corporate-owned devices for work-related tasks.
  • B. Require all employee devices to use a company-provided VPN for internet access.
  • C. Implement a mobile device management solution that restricts the installation of non-approved applications.
  • D. Conduct regular cybersecurity awareness training, focusing on phishing attacks.

BYOD is a personal device, MDM fails in real life as users don't support the idea. C would be preferred but D is more practical.

According to the book, as stated by insaniunt (Module 17 Page 2713) it is C. However, in outside the context of the exam, for BYOD MDM is not recommended and companies prefer MAM (Mobile App Management) instead for such a scenario.

Mobile device management solution (Option C )could be seen as overly restrictive in a BYOD environment. So I think its D.

I wouldn't install MDM to my phone. Most people don't want to install MDM on their smartphones because they won't be able to install their favorite apps. > consider a measure that would prevent similar attacks without overly restricting the use of personal devices

Selected Answer: C
C - Implement a Mobile Device Management (MDM) Mobile Device Management (MDM) is an effort to add some control to enterprise mobile devices. Much like Group Policy and such in the Microsoft Windows world, MDM helps in pushing security policies, application deployment, and monitoring of mobile devices. Most MDM solutions offer the same basic features: passcodes for device unlocking, remote locking, remote wipe, root or jailbreak detection, policy enforcement, inventory, and monitoring/reporting.

C The root cause was through a third-party email app that the employee had installed. Consider that the official provided apps with such protection and prevention.
