The article seems to engage in a bifurcation fallacy in suggesting that if you have company data on a personal device, then you must or ought to have MDM.
Trusting me to be able to access my work e-mail from my own equipment without the need to monitor me is perhaps the lowest baseline of trust that I expect an employer to put in me. Afterall, if they can't trust me to be responsible with such data why bother giving me access to their systems at all?*
* The exception of course is in cases where they are required to monitor data use by law, e.g. medical. But prefer working in open environments anyways...
- unethical_ban 9y ago"Sorry boss, I didn't know it was risky to download company data to my Android 4 device and also install Candie Croosh Castle that needs access to Photos, Files and Media" It's as much about ignorance as it is about malice.
- zhjansbnas 9y agoMost people don’t know how to keep their devices secure. I wouldn’t expect that from an employee unless they are a security professional.
- lazyasciiart 9y agoSo, do you only work at companies where every employee is a computer professional? Or perhaps you expect your employer to give some sort of individual assessment - "John is ok, Jim needs monitoring, Jane is ok...."?
