Question 1hardmultiple choice
Full question →hardmultiple choiceObjective-mapped
Company-owned tablets are used by field staff for both corporate email and approved personal apps. Security must isolate company data from personal data, allow remote wipe of only the corporate workspace, and block access if the device is rooted or encryption is disabled. Which approach best fits?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.
A
Distractor review
Use a consumer anti-malware app and perform a full-device wipe if the tablet is lost.
A consumer antivirus tool does not provide corporate workspace isolation or conditional access enforcement.
B
Best answer
Use MDM or UEM with a managed work profile or container, compliance checks, and selective wipe.
This meets the isolation, selective wipe, and posture-check requirements while preserving approved personal use on the device.
C
Distractor review
Install a VPN app on the tablets and let users choose their own lock-screen settings.
A VPN encrypts traffic, but it does not separate corporate and personal data or enforce device compliance.
D
Distractor review
Use application allowlisting alone and avoid enrolling the tablets in a management platform.
Allowlisting can limit apps, but it does not provide selective wipe, posture validation, or full device governance.
Common exam trap
Common exam trap: NAT rules depend on direction and matching traffic
NAT is not only about the public address. The inside/outside interface roles and the ACL or rule that matches traffic are just as important.
Technical deep dive
How to think about this question
NAT questions usually test address translation, overload/PAT behaviour, static mappings and whether the right traffic is being translated. Read the interface direction and address terms carefully.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
- PAT allows many inside hosts to share one public address using ports.
- Inside local and inside global describe the private and translated addresses.
- NAT ACLs identify traffic for translation, not always security filtering.
TExam Day Tips
- Identify inside and outside interfaces first.
- Check whether the scenario needs static NAT, dynamic NAT or PAT.
- Do not confuse NAT matching ACLs with normal packet-filtering intent.

FAQ
Questions learners often ask
What does this SY0-701 question test?
Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
What is the correct answer to this question?
The correct answer is: Use MDM or UEM with a managed work profile or container, compliance checks, and selective wipe. — MDM or UEM with a managed work profile or container is the best fit because it separates business data from personal data on the same device. Compliance checks can block access when the tablet is rooted or encryption is disabled, and selective wipe can remove only the corporate workspace if the device is lost or the user leaves. That combination aligns strongly with security and privacy requirements. Why others are wrong: A consumer anti-malware app does not deliver enterprise mobility controls or selective wipe. A VPN protects traffic in transit, but it does not isolate data or enforce device posture. Application allowlisting can reduce software risk, yet without enrollment it cannot reliably separate corporate and personal content or enforce remote actions against the managed workload.
