Definitely. It's just so much easier to have a policy of 'no company data on personal devices' and just hand out the devices people need for their work. Easy to explain to auditors too (think ISO 27001).
For devs and support this means a laptop, and for ops and management a smartphone is usually needed too.
The only reason I have a phone on me when I'm at the office is for school to reach me in case my kid is taken ill or something like that.
- ryandrake 3y agoI would never put work stuff on my personal phone. Keep those lives separate. I seem to remember a story here a few years ago where someone's company got sued, and they demanded her personal phone (full of nudes and other personal info) for legal discovery because she used it for both personal and work stuff. Don't cross the streams, people! If [company] needs me to do work on a phone, they need to provide the phone. Then they are welcome to remote-wipe it, install whatever Spyware and LockdownWare they need to, and have it back whenever they want it. I don't care.
