I’m about 4 months into a new job and I do everything via laptop. It’s a good sized company, about 400 employees I think. I got a request from IT for a meeting to transition from JAMF to Desktop Central, which is affecting everything. I had no idea about JAMF though, it was never mentioned in my onboarding. Trying to look up info on these two brought me to basically “they can see absolutely everything you do.” But it’s not too clear to me the extent involved here. Any IT folks with knowledge about this? Researching into it, fucking every company with remote employees is getting into this. Feels like a massive surveillance transition unrolling in real time and it seems real bad
Edit - are there any ways I can effectively prevent them from doing this? Dummy activity scripts? VPNs?
Double edit — it is indeed a work laptop issued to me
If your IT department is half-competent, you’re talking access to your screen at all times, remote access with admin privileges, and logging of all network activity. You may as well assume it contains a keylogger too. Seconding all other advice to quarantine that shit hard
