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 this is completely controllable by the company. Maybe you just have a shitty IT department and shouldn’t work somewhere that does not educate their IT staff appropriately?

We have intune at work - we do not request the option to wipe personal devices. Flaming a net-good technology because you have had bad experience is not a good look.

@matmair so send me a screenshot of what your mdm profile looks like on your device and what the permissions that it gives.

What net-good is there for individuals to allow any control over their device to their employer?

You even said the best part. “Controllable by the company” I choose to give zero control of my personal device or its contents to “the company“
