A company wants to minimize hardware acquisition costs and is considering allowing staff to use their personally-owned smartphones for work-related tasks. The company will provide secure access to its systems and ensure compliance with corporate security policies. Which mobile device deployment strategy should be implemented?
Provide a catalog of approved corporate devices from which employees can select to use for both personal and work activities.
Allow staff to use their own smartphones for work, with corporate provisioning of security configurations and applications.
Implement a policy providing devices exclusively owned by the company for employee use.
Create a decoupled device environment where employees interact with a company-controlled mobile interface hosted on remote services.
The strategy where staff are permitted to use their personally-owned smartphones for work, with the company securing access to its systems and maintaining compliance with corporate security policies, is most closely associated with a 'Bring Your Own Device' policy without explicitly stating the acronym. It allows personal devices to access company resources, saving costs on hardware while still managing corporate data security through policy enforcement. The use of an exclusively corporate-provided device policy would not align with the goal of reducing hardware costs, as the organization would still need to purchase and maintain these devices. Similarly, offering a catalog of approved corporate devices to select from does not align with the objective of utilizing employee-owned devices; hence, it would be a less effective fit for the stated company goal. As for the approach involving a decoupled device environment where employees access a virtual mobile interface, it does not directly address the usage of personal devices for work-related tasks.
