Well, you know what they say: β€œIt’s never too late.”

If you run into any problems, let me know.

I am glad that you liked the article : ))

I have a cousin who has a company laptop and I swear he uses that for everything personal. I just realized that after reading this article.

I don't really have a company laptop, but if I ever get one. I'll atleast know what to dooo!!

Lol, I get you. I have many family members who do that as well but they are beyond saving. If I tell them about all of this, they’ll just laugh it off and call me a weirdo.

Anyway, atleast I was able to arm you, so that’s enough for me.

Thanks for reading : )

Great article!

And yes, device management is essential once you have a fair number of devices - it streamlines IT work significantly, with benefits for users too. Personally, I like using Conditional Access to block non-compliant devices from accessing company data (USB blocked, secure boot on, disk encryption enabled, firewall and EDR in place, etc.).

A useful option is to allow personal profiles alongside company management - either BYOD with a work profile (company manages just a "work container" on the user's device) or COPE (Corporate-Owned, Personally Enabled) for company devices, often limited to certain roles. Either way, personal data stays in its own container, untouched even by a wipe.

Nice man, you are already way way ahead of so many people.

If you know people in your network, making this mistake. Do let them about this post too.

And also, thanks for the read : )

I try to be :P

I pay attention to best practices, and that usually leads to finding better ways of working - which is also a great way to upskill your team along the way.

Sure, restacking for my network, and I'll share it directly with anyone it makes sense for.
