An organization wants to balance employee preference with enterprise security for its mobile fleet. The IT department has decided to purchase a selection of approved smartphone models from different manufacturers. Employees are then allowed to select one device from this catalog to use for work purposes. Which mobile deployment model does this scenario describe?
The correct answer is CYOD (Choose Your Own Device). In a CYOD model, the company provides a list of pre-approved devices from which employees can select. This approach offers a middle ground between the full user freedom of BYOD and the strict control of corporate-owned models, giving employees a sense of choice while allowing the IT department to maintain security standards on a limited range of supported hardware. BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) allows employees to use their personal devices for work. COPE (Corporate-Owned, Personally-Enabled) involves the company providing a device that employees can also use for personal matters. POCE is not a standard industry acronym for a deployment model, making it an invalid option.
