So no concerns if they're running a device that no longer receives security updates?

I'm wondering if we need to get Finance to change our T&E policy to allow for partially or fully paying for new phones every 2 years, since we don't give out company phones and require them to log in.

If they're using the native activesync connector you should be getting the android version running on the other end. Collect those logs, audit them once or twice a year, and cut off the most egregiously out of date devices and tell them to update or upgrade

If you're referring to the thing where the ASA will stop all traffic forwarding if it can't reach a syslog server over TCP, it's not a bug. In fact, that is Cisco Approved Default Behavior. You have to specifically configure the ASA not to become a brick if it can't send syslog data over TCP.

Some colleagues of mine were introduced to this behavior recently, and it may or may not have involved a total failure of all outbound web traffic because of it. Death to the ASA.

That's it. Thing is, other devices on their network were using tcp without a problem.

Yes I have full insight, our mfa service requires a small app on their device so I know we have old android devices out there. If we cut them off because we require a minimum version of android, but we also explicitly won't reimburse them for a new phone or at least partially reimburse, that's a dick move, no? They can say "I can't afford a new phone but you require me to have it to log in to our systems. Either pay for a new phone for me, give me a phone, or disable the 2fa requirement when logging in to applications."

I wonder what goons opinion on this is, I feel like I need to have management change company policy to reimburse for phones since we currently require byod and 2fa leveraging the device they bring.

Or just accept the risk and allow old android 6 or android 7 devices?

In a lot of states, you can't legally tell someone to buy equipment for a job. Depending on the 2FA system, you can get like $20 dongles that do the same thing as the phone app, and can hand those out to people who refuse to update. But yeah, mandating people use their personal phone for business stuff, AND mandating they update it is kinda a dick move.

We are BYOD and require an app for MFA, but we pay a stipend for employees that are using their phones for work. Up to $140/month depending on the situation.

As the employee I would tell you to gently caress off.

Edit: several years ago, I was a consultant on an email migration project and they just expected I had an iPhone and would use that for testing mobile email stuff. I laughed and said no, provide me an iDevice, and that's how I as a consultant had a company paid for iPhone in an organization with over 100k users and where very few people had company paid for iPhones. I'm going to be going through this again soon when my current physical RSA fob dies, they are pushing hard for soft token, but I need it for 2fa for an internal app, so an escalation up my org chart will be happening soon.

I'm not putting employer's poo poo on my phone period, especially stuff like Google's MDM app. One fatfinger and oops we wiped your device and I don't have time to deal with that no matter the resolution.

Pick a solution that supports some other authentication method if you aren't providing employer-paid hardware tokens of some manner, be that employee badge, some yubikey thing, dongle, actual phone or whatever.

With BYOD policies it's also worth thinking about your process, policies, and procedures you'll need to cover should you ever need to confiscate a personal device for forensic investigation in the event you suspect an employee of doing whatever deserves a forensic investigation of their device.

I would also never let a device that isn't running a modern OS (one still receiving security patches) connect to my environment or resources in any fashion.

Last I administered Google's MDM (two years ago) there was link in the dashboard to wipe the device and there was no way to disable it on personal devices. If that changed at some point then great but considering how slow Google is at pushing useful updates within G Suite I kind of doubt it.

Android for Work has been around since 2015 and allows work stuff to be isolated to its own area which can be wiped without affecting the entire device.

They still also have fully managed options for company-owned devices, but this is the way BYOD should be handled.

AFAIK at least initially some devices didn't support it, but I'd have to assume that it's become standard at some point in the four Android versions since.

My phone is hosed up, good to see that they finally fixed that. My number one complaint when administering Google MDM was that I couldn't turn off that button to stop our people from accidentally (or not) wiping personal devices. Other than that it was the best free option by far.

You give them a 2FA key or pay for the loving phone, this isn't rocket science. You give people the tools they need to work.

I just reenrolled my personal device, used a work profile, and confirmed that administrators can still wipe the entire device. I'll post screenshots when I get home and can edit out my email.
They don't have to use the segregated setup, and if they set it up as full device management first what do you think the chances are they went back and modified it for no gain to the company?

Here's a screenshot from the Admin dashboard on my newly enrolled Android 9.0 personal device using a work profile. You still have the option at least to (hopefully only attempt nope see below) wipe the entire device even when using a work profile on personal devices.

Edit: just to win an internet argument I unregistered the profile and hit 'wipe device'. If you want proof that I set up a work profile then I got that too.

If anyone wants to reproduce this then this is a friendly reminder that Google will provide you a free trial Admin domain for testing and you can try this yourself, you don't have to take my word for it.

I did, as you can see in the bottom of the second screenshot - where it explicitly states that corporate and personal data will be erased. I had already unregistered the profile on my phone so it wasn't able to do anything if it had tried (and I'm not going to find out).

Edit: deleting the profile is an entirely separate button (wipe account). Anyways, I'm fully willing to admit that this is all probably just terrible design on Google's part and that it probably/hopefully doesn't actually wipe personal devices. I'd just like to point out that my original statement was only that there's no way to disable that 'wipe device' button even when personal devices are pulled up, which at this point has been pretty conclusively proven.

I still like Google MDM from an administrative standpoint despite this bullshit. It's pretty straightforward, just works, and you can just swipe a slider to disable it when you go on vacation.

My last company provided the choice, last-gen Galaxy or $65/mo stipend, and they also offered $200 every two years towards getting a new smartphone. Apparently barely anyone knew about it though, so when I filed the expense report I made sure to cite the page and paragraph of the benefits guide that mentioned it.

Got a iPhone SE 32GB for basically $20, just paid tax and for the SIM card. And then $15 for a couple of Otterboxes and a belt clip from Craigslist. Still going about two years later, although the battery life is going downhill. Might get a new phone at some point in the next year, idk. Now that Google has their Android One program that guarantees longer update life that's one of Apple's big advantages gone. The current company doesn't give a stipend or company phones, but the extent of what we're expected to use them for is calling your manager if you're going to be late.

Did anything ever happen with that Librem phone? I liked the idea because I'm not a huge fan of the idea of giving Google all of my data again (rather than just the 75% they get because I'm too lazy to migrate off of Gmail) and Apple is really only better about that until they get a financial incentive to start stealing your data.

They currently claim it will launch in Q3, though based on the history of delays the project has seen I wouldn't put much stock in that. PINE64, who make a bunch of ARM SBCs and the $99 PineBook laptop, are also planning to release their own Linuxphone at a much lower cost than the Librem ($150 vs $650) and they're also planning to launch by the end of the year.

Until recently, researchers had to take Microsoft's word the vulnerability was severe. Then five researchers from security firm McAfee reported last Tuesday that they were able to exploit the vulnerability and gain remote code execution without any end-user interaction. The post affirmed that CVE-2019-0708, as the vulnerability is indexed, is every bit as critical as Microsoft said it was.

“There is a gray area to responsible disclosure,” the researchers wrote. “With our investigation we can confirm that the exploit is working and that it is possible to remotely execute code on a vulnerable system without authentication."
