平成30年度 秋期 ITパスポート試験 問72
This question's explanation and your answers so far.
解説
問 72
Incorrectア
Integrated management of business data and document files is management on the content (information asset) side, not management of the devices themselves. The core of MDM is that its management target is the “device,” so a description about data management does not apply.
Incorrectイ
Using an employee’s personal device for work with the company’s permission is a description of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device). MDM is a mechanism for managing devices, not a term that refers to the usage style of bringing in personal devices itself.
Incorrectウ
Recovering deleted call logs and files and preserving them as evidence is a description of digital forensics. It is evidence preservation for criminal investigations and legal disputes, which differs from MDM—used for the day-to-day operational management of devices—in both purpose and content.
- エ
正解 MDM (Mobile Device Management) is a mechanism by which the administrator of a corporate system centrally controls a large number of business mobile devices (such as smartphones and tablets). By installing agent software on each device, the administrator can remotely and collectively carry out tasks such as monitoring device status, remote locking and remote data wiping (remote wipe) when a device is lost or stolen, and distributing or restricting apps and settings. Choice エ accurately describes this “remote management of the devices themselves,” so it is appropriate.
ここがポイント
- MDM = a mechanism by which a company centrally manages business mobile devices. Its representative functions are status monitoring, remote locking, and remote data wiping (remote wipe) via agent software.
- Distinguishing confusable terms: do not confuse it with BYOD (using personal devices for work) or digital forensics (recovering deleted data and preserving evidence).
