How does BYOD change the way in which businesses implement networks?
You Answered

BYOD requires organizations to purchase laptops rather than desktops.

BYOD users are responsible for their own network security, thus reducing the need for organizational security policies.

BYOD devices are more expensive than devices that are purchased by an organization.

Correct Answer

BYOD provides flexibility in where and how users can access network resources.

Refer to curriculum topic: 1.4.1 A BYOD environment requires an organization to accommodate a variety of devices and access methods. Personal devices, which are not under company control, may be involved, so security is critical.
