CAS-003 Question #580: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is A: COPE with geofencing. COPE with geofencing satisfies all three requirements: company control over device models, allowance for personal media storage, and restriction of the application to within the warehouse.
Question
A company uses an application in its warehouse that works with several commercially available tablets and can only be accessed inside the warehouse. The support department would like the selection of tablets to be limited to three models to provide better support and ensure spares are on hand. Users often keep the tablets after they leave the department, as many of them store personal media items. Which of the following should the security engineer recommend to meet these requirements?
Options
- ACOPE with geofencing
- BBYOD with containerization
- CMDM with remote wipe
- DCYOD with VPN
Explanation
COPE with geofencing satisfies all three requirements: company control over device models, allowance for personal media storage, and restriction of the application to within the warehouse.
Common mistakes.
- B. BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) means employees own the devices, so the organization cannot restrict selection to three specific models as required.
- C. MDM with remote wipe can manage device inventory, but remote wipe would destroy the personal media items that users are permitted to store, violating the personal-use requirement.
- D. CYOD (Choose Your Own Device) can limit device models, but VPN provides encrypted remote access rather than restricting application functionality to a specific physical location such as the warehouse.
