KPN proposed ‘aggressive counter-actions’ in fiber optic competition – IT Pro – News

Well, if the technician does a post-it with password with the laptop, and on his desktop instructions to enter the intranet …

At my previous employer, my laptop also had a lot of security, including 2-fa for most things on the cloud. Among other things for Sharepoint with sensitive project information But with just the password of my laptop you were already able to access many things that I had stored (semi) locally (my own Onedrive room was immediately accessible with everything I recently worked on in office) only when documents were completed and final they went off my local disk and only on Sharepoint, and you could also open my mails and MS Teams without 2-FA).

So you are simply sensitive as a company to how meticulously your employees handle equipment. At my current job I do all public affairs on my private laptop (and that is a lot with my PhD, can leak well because all must be published open access), and sensitive matters from a company where I partly do my research, that I do nicely on a desktop delivered by them to their office. I just refused to do that on my laptop. If I want to transfer files to my private laptop, I first let them decide whether that may be public.

That company where I am doing research has good security, but it still depends on me if I don’t transfer files to another device for convenience. If they would do such things completely, I would be hindered too much in my work, so that is often just not an option.
