@jerry , it's always interesting to hear how people I respect deal with employers expecting encroachment (in this case, mobile device management) on employee property. Personally, starting in '80s MIS, I drew a friendly but firm line: "I'll be glad to run that on a company device."
Which was a friendly way of saying "Let's keep what's mine and what's yours distinct, nei?"
That never came do carrying two phones, but I'd have done that before allowing bossware. (It did mean a work laptop for on-call.)
Hey @jerry so, what are your plans? Are you done CISO’ing? I hate to see things end this way and hope your old company gets hacked hard after you leave so they know that karma is a real bitch.
@jeff I appreciate that. I am not certain yet. I am going to take a few months off and figure out what the rest of my life will look like. If I could find the right company to be a CISO at, I would strongly consider it. But I am not doing another one like what I just left.
@jerry@jeff there is a lot of need for security in the AI startup world, I vCISO for 3 directly.
There is a massive need for security as a whole in small tech, especially emerging and bleeding edge.
It’s a way different world and it’s mostly grunt work, bottom up stuff @SecureOwl speaks about.
There are some really good companies that need experience and ability, along with the business acumen I lack. The startup world is great, I work great in under 50 person orgs.
Find your sweet spot to place your personal life above work and still afford orchards and lens.
@jerry@jeff Clearly a llama shepherd and/or thrash metal singer is what's in your future. But seriously, congratulations for making it out of the big blue machine. You lasted a lot longer than others would have.
@jerry I’d uninstall it today. Microsoft wiped my personal Authenticator and left all their own data as they misconfigured their own MDM platform.. so now I offboard myself.
