ITPEC FE Morning October 2018 — Question 44 of 80
BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) — using a personal device for work and its security risks
BYOD means an employee uses their own personal device (laptop, phone, tablet) for business purposes. The main security concern is that personal devices may lack corporate-level protections — antivirus, encryption, patch management — leading to risks like virus infections and data leakage.
The correct answer is c): a personal terminal used for business with inadequate security settings — this is exactly what BYOD describes.
Why not the others:
- a) A company-provided terminal taken home for private use — this is misuse of corporate equipment, not BYOD
- b) A company-provided terminal used in transit — this describes mobile work risks (shoulder surfing), but the device is corporate, not personal
- d) A personal terminal used privately during breaks — not for business purposes, so it doesn't fall under BYOD
Key rule: BYOD = personal device + business use. Both conditions must be met.
