Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Provide the device with a permanent VPN connection.
Why it's wrong here
VPNs provide overly broad access and are not suited for BYOD.
- ✓
Enforce ZTNA with device posture checks and MFA.
Why this is correct
This combination validates the identity and the security state of the device before granting access.
- ✗
Require the device to join the corporate Active Directory domain.
Why it's wrong here
BYOD devices should not be joined to the AD domain.
- ✗
Configure an open SSID for BYOD devices.
Why it's wrong here
Open SSIDs are inherently insecure.
