Everything about privacy (the confidentiality pillar of security) -- but not restricted to infosec. Offline privacy is also relevant here.

Just a reminder, especially in this wild time we live in. DO NOT INSTALL WORK MDM ON YOUR PERSONAL DEVICE.
If your work requires Microsoft Intune or similar MDM, to get email/teams/slack. don't accept it. It opens your device up for them to access private data and disable/delete your phone (even if they say they wont, they can)

@notsle@kzoo.to Even the humble old ActiveSync gives them permission to delete everything on your phone. This is still used at some companies, particularly those who are only allowed to use on-prem Exchange.

ActiveSync is the protocol you'd use if you just add "Microsoft Exchange Account" (the way most Android versions call it).

Not the same as Outlook for Android and iOS. That app is comparatively harmless, you can give it fine-grained access to e.g. only your calendar.
