Every company is different in how they manage their computing and data assets. It is always wise to review your company's policies first before setting up access to company online resources from your personal devices. Again, policies range from allowed to grounds for dismissal. To be fired because you accessed company data assets on your personal device when it's against policy is, well, kind of stupid.
@Bigwaff for the win!
Yes i am not very technical but the other macbook is very heavy to carry around and if i carry that one i cant carry my own so i guess i have to stick to just carry that one around.
Yes, remote access is a terrible idea, even if you could force it to work. Just take both laptops with you. I got myself a good backpack for three laptops, plus accessories and they don't even feel heavy.
On general principle. Never mix personal and business usage on the same or connected laptops, and phones, too. THAT is how ransom-ware attacks and data theft thrive.
Never cross the streams. Besides, your security team will know you tried. If they care.
My organization cares hard. We run "Conditional Access Policies" at our firewalls: We monitor where a laptop is, and how it is connected, before even allowing connection to our VPN. We allow Microsoft 365 to connect only from inside the organization network VPN. Our VPN software blocks "Split Tunneling" (connecting to the organization network and to another network at the same time).
Our goal is to block any personally owned device from connecting to the organization, and any organization owned device from connecting to anything personal.
BUT WE WILL LOG ANY ATTEMPT, and we have fired people for trying. We also track users' social media sites, handles, and public content - partly to protect them, partly to see if they're an insider threat. 🎶 🎅 We know if they've been bad or good; so, be good for goodness sake... 🎅 🎵
There's a lot more to it, but this is Security 101. Zero trust and behavioral analytics are 200-level courses.
