I’d wager to agree, I don’t play in this space much but I can’t imagine MDM being unable to handle this kind of basic use case, and also for most companies the confidential data being worth enough to be more careful than relying on MDM. Sure if you work for a compay that builds weapons for the USG you probably need to worry about hardware chain of custody. But those people are not sending their employees home with laptops anyway. In other words, if you trust your employees enough to take that device home, whatever you have on there is probably fine to be handled by MDM


I'm of a similar mind. I also think the argument of this protecting the employee, while true, feels a it weak in the face of an employer deciding to leave a laptop they didn't adequately scrub with said ex-employee.
