In a BYOD environment, what must an employee's device typically do?

Connect directly to the main internal network
Meet the company's requirements for security
Have no restrictions on usage
Be registered with external service providers

The correct answer is: Meet the company's requirements for security

In a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) environment, it is essential for an employee's device to meet the company's requirements for security. This ensures that personal devices used for work purposes do not introduce vulnerabilities into the organization's network. Companies often have specific security policies in place that may include requirements such as up-to-date antivirus software, operating system patches, and secure password policies. By complying with these security requirements, employees help protect sensitive company data and minimize the risk of data breaches. The other options reflect practices that either compromise security or do not align with typical BYOD policies. Connecting directly to the main internal network without any security measures could expose the organization to significant risks. Having no restrictions on usage would likely lead to security breaches, as employees could unintentionally access malicious content or use their devices inappropriately. Lastly, being registered with external service providers is not a standard requirement for BYOD; such registration would depend on the nature of services provided, not necessarily a condition for device usage within a secure and controlled corporate environment.
