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 what about p.1 of this article regarding how this works on Apple devices:

  1. Work Data Separation and Encryption

@in_sympathy@mastodon.social as that article says, "managed through a leading Apple-specific MDM using the BYOD method".

Is that what your employer is using? can you independently verify it?

Did they configure it properly.

Most businesses are lazy and just buy into the Microsoft ecosystem and use defaults.

My IT infrastructure team, while security minded, care about protecting the business not the employee. They wipped an employees phone this week because it said it was in a different country

@in_sympathy@mastodon.social Of course, there are places that do it right. But most people either are not technical enough to know what to verify, or the company wont share details of their MDM system and just generically say its required.
