Zhen’s new organization has informed him that they used a COPE model for their mobile devices. What does this tell Zhen about what he can do with the device?
Answer Options
He can choose what device he uses, but the organization will own it.
He will be provided with a device but can use it for reasonable personal use.
He will be provided with a device and can only use it for business purposes.
He will have to bring his own device but can use it for personal and business use.
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
COPE, or company- owned, personally enabled, models allow staff to use organization-ally owned devices for reasonable personal use. CYOD, or choose your own device, allows users to pick their company-owned device from a list of approved devices. COBO, or company- owned, business-only, is just that—users can only use the devices for business purposes. BYOD asks users to bring their own device, often leaving organizations with limited or no control of the device.
