I mean they're not wrong, BYOD is an absolutely ginormous attack vector.
If an organisations' security relies on the end device configuration there is no security.
Who needs defense in depth, right?
You can bring your own devices, but you don't get permission to access anything?
Or what are you even trying to say about what the end users device being able to do anything
I don't think I said anything about what a device can and cannot do
For the user or the company? Assuming the user isn't a moron with computers?
Edit: guess im out of the loop as a contractor who generally only does BYOD with my linux machine
Lol
For the company, and no one should ever assume for a moment that everyone has their guard up at all times and is infallible.
As far as I've heard you actually assume quite the opposite.
If a user doesn't understand that having complete control over every device in your network is essential, he's being a complete moron with computers.
You should do your work, not worrying about patching all the 128 tools you think you need, that's other peoples job.
