GCGA Ch. 5 Deploying Mobile Devices Securely (ST)

Question 1

COPE

Answer 1

Corporate-owned, personally enabled (COPE) mobile devices are owned by the organization, but employees can use them for personal reasons.

Question 2

BYOD vs CYOD

Answer 2

Bring your own device (BYOD) policies allow employees to connect their mobile devices to the organization’s network. Choose your own device (CYOD) policies include a list of acceptable devices and allow employees who own one of these devices to connect them to the network.

Question 3

VDI

Answer 3

A virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) is a virtual desktop, and these can be created so that users can access them from a mobile device.

Question 4

MDM

Answer 4

Mobile device management (MDM) tools help ensure that devices meet minimum security requirements. They can monitor devices, enforce security policies, and block network access if devices do not meet these requirements. MDM tools can restrict applications on devices, segment and encrypt data, enforce strong authentication methods, and implement security methods such as screen locks and remote wipe. Containerization is useful when using the BYOD model.

Question 5

Screen lock

Answer 5

like a password-protected screen saver on desktop systems that automatically locks the device after some time.

Question 6

Remote wipe signal

Answer 6

removes all the data from a lost phone.

Question 7

Geolocation

Answer 7

uses Global Positioning System (GPS) to identify a device’s location. Geofencing uses GPS to create a virtual fence or geographic boundary. Organizations use geofencing to enable access to services or devices within the boundary and block access outside the boundary.

Question 8

Geotagging

Answer 8

uses GPS to add geographical information to files (such as pictures) when posting them on social media sites.

Question 9

Third-party app store

Answer 9

something other than the primary store for a mobile device. Apple’s App Store is the primary store for Apple devices. Google Play is a primary store for Android devices.

Question 10

Jailbreaking

Answer 10

removes all software restrictions on Apple devices, and rooting provides users with root-level access to an Android device. Custom firmware can also root an Android device. MDM tools block network access for jailbroken or rooted devices.

Question 11

Sideloading

Answer 11

the process of copying an application to an Android device instead of installing it from an online store. Tethering allows one mobile device to share its Internet connection with other devices. Wi-Fi Direct allows you to connect devices together without a wireless router.
