TheCCST Cybersecurity Study Guideexplains that aBYOD policy(Bring Your Own Device) should outline security requirements for personally owned devices connecting to the corporate network. Common requirements include:

Device encryptionfor stored sensitive corporate data.

Strong password or PINconfiguration for device access.

Restriction to secure and approved applicationsto reduce malware risk.

"BYOD policies typically mandate strong authentication, encryption of sensitive corporate data on personal devices, and installation of secure or approved applications. The goal is to protect corporate information while respecting personal ownership of the device."

(CCST Cybersecurity,Endpoint Security Concepts, BYOD Security section, Cisco Networking Academy)

Ais incorrect: BYOD policies do not require deletion of personal data unless wiping after separation.

Bis not a common requirement due to privacy and technical limitations.

E(upgrading data plans) is unrelated to security.

TheCCST Cybersecurity Study Guideexplains that aninsider threatis any threat to an organization that comes from people within the organization—employees, contractors, or business partners—who have inside information concerning the organization's security practices, data, and systems. Insider threats may be intentional or unintentional.

"An insider threat can be malicious or accidental. Employees may unintentionally cause data breaches by mishandling sensitive information, such as sending it to the wrong recipient."

(CCST Cybersecurity,Essential Security Principles, Threat Actor Types section, Cisco Networking Academy)

A(Logic bomb) is malicious code triggered by conditions.

B(Malware) is malicious software, unrelated to accidental email leaks.

C(Phishing) is an external social engineering attack.

Dis correct: This is anunintentional insider threat.

TheCCST Cybersecuritycourse defines a strong password as one that:

Is at least 8–12 characters long

Uses a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols

Avoids dictionary words, personal information, and predictable patterns

"Strong passwords combine length, complexity, and unpredictability, making them resistant to brute force and dictionary attacks."

(CCST Cybersecurity,Essential Security Principles, Authentication and Access Control section, Cisco Networking Academy)

Ais correct: It’s long, mixed case, includes numbers and symbols, and is not easily guessable.

Bis incorrect: It’s based on a date, which is predictable.

Cis incorrect: Short and based on a dictionary word.

Dis correct: Uses complexity and length with leetspeak for added unpredictability.
