If they provide you with a laptop and there are various profiles and security software on it, you should use it.
There might not be a specific rule to point to yet, but you don’t want to be the reason they make that official rule.
I know at my company, if I were to put company details on my personal laptop I’d be walked right out the door. How many company secrets are in the code and when you leave the company they don’t want to take your word for it that you’re not keeping all of that and doing who knows what with it. It’s a huge liability on both sides.
- ra 2y agoAgree. It's disingenuous to work around the company's security controls, it's also foolish as you're potentially exposing customers secrets to theft.

- BizarroLand 2y agoOr using your laptop could get you embroiled in a lawsuit with that very employer regarding IP. You could cause yourself a lot of headache if someone gets upset that the code you work on leaves the building every day.
