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 Those settings look closer to a corporate device to me. I'm the original IT guy in my company and created our M365 organization. I don't think some of those abilities being available when I configured our environment for personal devices in 2018.
We can only see and reset M365 apps when they are signed in with a company account. We do not see personal apps or data. I'll never allow that horrible sh*t on the personal devices of our people. Corporate devices are very different.

@tzudad@mastodon.social those are screenshots taken on my personal device when I went through the steps to install intune like my work wants. I had no intention of finishing it. Just wanted to see if anything has changed from previous employers.

@notsle@kzoo.to Your company's IT has some really invasive settings. Are you handling sensitive data? If I had to do that, I'd buy a garbage phone with a prepaid SIM and not put anything but their stuff on it. 2 phones sucks, but privacy is your right on your device.
