Joe's Personal Smartphone and Tablet Email Access

Joe, an employee at a large regional bank, wants to receive company email on his personal smartphone and tablet.

To authenticate on the mail server, he must first install a custom security application on those mobile devices.

Which of the following policies would BEST enforce this requirement?

A.

Incident response policy

B.

BYOD policy

C.

DLP policy

D.

Remote access policy.

B.

The BEST policy to enforce the requirement that Joe must install a custom security application on his personal smartphone and tablet before being able to access company email is the BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy.

A BYOD policy defines the rules and guidelines for employees to use their personal devices to access the company's network or data. It typically includes requirements for device security, such as installing antivirus software, enabling a passcode, and configuring remote wiping capabilities, among others.

In this case, the policy would require Joe to install the custom security application on his personal devices before being allowed to access company email. This would ensure that the devices are secure and meet the company's standards for accessing corporate resources.

An incident response policy is focused on how the company responds to security incidents and is not directly related to the use of personal devices. A DLP (Data Loss Prevention) policy is focused on preventing the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data and is not directly related to the use of personal devices either. A remote access policy defines the rules and guidelines for accessing a company's network remotely, but it doesn't specifically address the use of personal devices.

Therefore, the BYOD policy is the most appropriate policy to enforce the requirement that Joe must install a custom security application on his personal smartphone and tablet to access company email.
