The company is responsible for the security of their hardware and anything else provided to employees to use in the course of their work and should not be off-loading this onto their employees, implicitly or explicitly.
If your house got burgled and the company laptop stolen, would you feel responsible for replacing it (or having your insurance do so) for having taken it from the premises under the guise that their security was insufficient?
- muzani 7y agoIt's a gray area IMO, similar to, say, a bus driver whose bus is stolen. The employee has to maintain some reasonable security approaches and the company should as well. If the employee takes good care, then the company should replace it if there's a loss. My company has CCTVs, guards, digital and analog door locks, but a MBP is still more expensive than a gold ingot, and my house is still a little more secure.
