Question #: 48
Topic #: 3
[All Cybersecurity-Audit-Certificate Questions]

What would be an IS auditor's BEST response to an IT managers statement that the risk associated with the use of mobile devices in an organizational setting is the same as for any other device?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The BEST response to an IT manager's statement that the risk associated with the use of mobile devices in an organizational setting is the same as for any other device is thatreplication of privileged access and the greater likelihood of physical loss increases risk levels. Mobile devices pose unique risks to an organization due to their portability, connectivity, and functionality. Mobile devices may store or access sensitive data or systems that require privileged access, which can be compromised if the device is lost, stolen, or hacked. Mobile devices also have a higher chance of being misplaced or taken by unauthorized parties than other devices.

Option A is the way to go. Mobile devices are like a digital Swiss Army knife - they can do a lot, but that also means a lot of risk.

Haha, the IT manager must be living in a fantasy world if they think the risk is the same. Mobile devices are a security nightmare!

B? Really? Mobile devices are a hacker's dream come true. The risk is definitely higher than other devices.

C is also a valid point. The controls for mobile devices may not be as effective as those for workstations.

I agree with A. The increased mobility and access privileges of mobile devices make them a prime target for cyber attacks.

I thought option D sounded good because of the ability to wipe devices, but I’m not convinced it fully addresses all the risks involved.

I feel like we had a practice question about mobile device risks, and I think the answer highlighted that they can't be treated the same as other devices.

I’m not entirely sure, but I think the controls for mobile devices need to be different from those for workstations.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the options. I think A is the best choice, but I'm not 100% sure why the other options wouldn't be appropriate responses.

I'm pretty confident A is the best answer here. Mobile devices introduce additional attack vectors and risks that need to be specifically addressed, beyond just standard device controls.

I'm leaning towards A. Mobile devices do seem to have some heightened risks compared to other devices, even if they can be mitigated. The wording of the options makes me a bit unsure, though.

Hmm, I think the key here is recognizing that mobile devices introduce some unique risks like replication of privileged access and physical loss. Option A seems to capture that well.

I'm not sure about this one. The IT manager's statement seems a bit oversimplified, but I'm not confident I fully understand the nuances of the risks associated with mobile devices.
