Gotta love getting down voted for trying to learn more about a topic. Looks like Reddit culture is seeping in here.

Anyway, when you say:

They can also mandate a minimum level of security before accessing the work profile.

What does that mean? I thought MDM was just making it so I couldn't copy data and that my employer could wipe/locate my phone. But it sounds like you're saying it's actually doing something more like creating a separate environment, almost like a VM, on my phone? Or is it different than that? My work MDM said they want to look at applications that you have installed. That was too much of a privacy invasion for me, so I chose not to use work apps on my phone.

In my experience, users like you are what make MDM a requirement in any environment. People that refuse to participate in any security processes because they think they know better than the people whose job is literally cybersecurity are almost always the cause of major incidents.

Yeah, our IT systems would be exponentially more secure if we didn't have users too. One can dream, I suppose.
