解説

問 30

  • ア

    正解 BYOD stands for “Bring Your Own Device.” It refers to a scheme or idea that lets employees connect their personally-owned information devices, such as smartphones and laptops, to the company network so they can be used for work. Choice ア describes exactly this, so it is the correct answer. It offers benefits such as reducing device purchase costs and improving convenience, but because personal devices enter the internal company network, security management against risks such as information leakage and malware infection becomes a challenge.

  • Incorrectイ

    Describing “fundamentally reforming business processes and making full use of IT to improve processing capability and cost efficiency” is the explanation of BPR (Business Process Reengineering, business process restructuring), which has nothing to do with BYOD.

  • Incorrectウ

    Describing “a business continuity plan that enables operations to be carried out stably even when an accident or disaster occurs” is the explanation of BCP (Business Continuity Plan), which differs from BYOD, which deals with using personally-owned devices for work.

  • Incorrectエ

    Describing “outsourcing part of one’s own business processes to a subsidiary or an external specialized company to improve efficiency” is the explanation of outsourcing (external contracting), which differs from BYOD.

ここがポイント
  • BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) = a scheme that connects employees’ personally-owned devices to the internal company network and uses them for work. Alongside cost reduction and convenience, security management such as preventing information leakage is a key challenge.
  • Distinguish confusable abbreviations: be able to identify BPR (business process restructuring), BCP (business continuity plan), and outsourcing (external contracting) by their respective definitions.
