Exam CISA topic 1 question 125 discussion

Because the human is the weakest link in security.....so we need awareness ....The Correct answer is C

A Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) strategy introduces significant security risks, such as: Unsecured personal devices accessing corporate data, Lack of consistent controls over all endpoints, Potential for data leakage or loss. The BEST way to initially address these risks is through a mobile device awareness program, which: Educates users on security policies and acceptable use, Raises awareness about risks like phishing, unsecured networks, and unauthorized apps, Reinforces behaviors that protect organizational data on personal devices. Without user understanding and compliance, technical controls can be undermined. Why not the others? A. Mobile device testing program ➤ Useful for technical validation, but doesn’t address human behavior and awareness—key in BYOD contexts. B. Mobile device upgrade program ➤ Helps keep software and hardware secure, but not sufficient on its own. D. Mobile device tracking program ➤ Helpful for locating lost devices, but doesn’t mitigate most security risks BYOD introduces.

This educates employees on the organization's BYOD policies, security practices, and potential risks, ensuring they understand their responsibilities in maintaining the security of their personal devices when accessing corporate resources. Effective awareness programs can significantly reduce the likelihood of security incidents caused by employee negligence or lack of understanding, such as downloading malicious apps, connecting to insecure networks, or mishandling sensitive data.

Answer: A First test the device compliance with ORG BOYD Policy and ORG Security Policy

The best step is to implement C and then implement D (MDM).

An employee BYOD agreement should require

A. Mobile device testing program The best way to address the security risks associated with a recently implemented bring your own device (BYOD) strategy is to establish a mobile device testing program (Option A). Such a program involves testing and evaluating the security posture of various types of mobile devices that employees bring into the organization's environment. This helps identify vulnerabilities, security gaps, and potential risks associated with those devices. By conducting thorough testing, the organization can implement appropriate security controls and measures to mitigate the identified risks and ensure a secure BYOD environment.

awareness program its not enough

can t bear the stype of this CISA questions. this results in confusion, i hope i could leverage such great advanced understanding to achieve more in REAL exam and social network.
