Which of the following statements best explains why a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) program can create additional security challenges for an organization?
It eliminates the need for multifactor authentication because employees are already familiar with their devices.
It guarantees that all mobile hardware is using the newest operating-system versions, reducing patch-management workload.
It standardizes device configurations, making mobile device management unnecessary.
It introduces the risk of data leakage because personal devices may not be subject to the same security controls as corporate-owned devices.
Personal mobile devices are outside the organization's direct control, so they may lack required security patches, encryption, or malware protection, increasing the likelihood of data leakage or other compromise. A well-designed BYOD policy must therefore include controls such as MDM, containerization, and remote-wipe capabilities. The other options are incorrect because BYOD does not guarantee up-to-date operating systems, does not remove the need for multifactor authentication, and does not standardize device configurations-rather, it increases diversity and management overhead.
