Well thanks for triggering a memory.
Yes I remember how MDM works.
MDM can switch on your camera or switch it off. I’ve seen it being done.
Yes it can MANAGE your camera turning the function on and off. It cannot actually use your camera.
It can also switch off your camera based on your location, some countries don’t allow cameras on company premises.
WhatsApp is a business tool and communication in the work environment became very popular and is a popular messaging tool, it’s an information portal leak in any organisation. It’s monitored. There is a story about it being used at FNB I think.
Prove it.
It cannot be monitored. It can be managed, but not monitored, at least not on an iOS device. I can't speak for the Android garbage which is full of holes.
Email can be accessed via MDM, company policy is enforced once MDM is loaded, even with MS exchange back in the day.
It cannot. Your email could be accessed by other means yes such as Exchange directly. There is no need for your company to access your email via MDM when they can just access it on their own server which they host.
They cannot access email they do no host themselves, unless it's some very dodgy non-secure email service and then only on their own network, not via MDM>
MDM constantly manages location. As I’ve said in some countries and some organisations your location determines what features of your device is enabled or disabled. Eg, when you arrive at work, your camera and WhatsApp is disabled.
MANAGES your location. It does not have access to the data. And no it does not use the location to turn it on and off dynamically, it's either permanently on or permanently off through the configuration profile.
What you can do is have a configuration profile that monitors things like what SSID you are using and when connected to something like turn off the camera, but you cannot use location data to turn the camera on and off.
Safari under MDM will have the same company policy as you have on your laptop.
No it does not, unless your laptop is a MacBook and then also not all options are universally the same as it's two different platform.
It still has no access to your Safari data, it simply manages what features you can or can't use in Safari.
MDM can see your contacts, it can remote wipe contacts linked to MS exchange and Lync, but can also manually deleted one contact at a time.
No, it cannot.
It can wipe all of them and it can see how many there are but it cannot access them and hence cannot selectively delete them.
Again there is no reason for your company to manage your contacts via MDM when they can do it directly on the server they control.
So if that’s your day job as you claim, you not that clued up hey...?
Very clued up, none of what you said above is accurate.
