Don’t you need to be signed in to the same iCloud account on both your laptop and phone to use this feature? That would mean that in order to encounter this issue you already need to be using a work account on a personal device, or vice versa. Since that’t the case I fail to see how this is a large vulnerability. The article doesn’t seem to address this point (possible I just missed this).

#13It's incredible to me how many people log into personal account on work devices. People should really research the amount of data security tools harvest.

If your employer isn't requiring you to log in with a personal account on a work device (and they're not), and your personal data doesn't have anything you'd mind your employer seeing, then why not? Because then there's no slippery slope and you're making a conscious choice. A lot of people lead really boring lives and just want the convenience of using their personal e-mail on the work device. Their employer knowing…
That's great and fine, until anything non-trivial in your life happens. Illness, relationship drama, recruiter conversation, off-hand low-context remarks to/from friends...
The corporate suckware hoovers up the data, and a) exposes you professionally to the company's whims of self-protection, and b) exposes the company legally to your personal imperfections.
Don't cross the streams. It would be bad.

One reason is that if your employer is sued your personal data/devices can get tied up in the discovery process.

> If your Mac asks whether to require Mac login to access your iPhone, choose Ask Every Time or Authenticate Automatically. You can change this later in iPhone Mirroring settings on your Mac.
Seems its an app setting to have this protected or not ?

I was just discussing this with a friend. The one place where I’m willing to fudge things (corporate policies permitting) is putting my personal calendar on a work machine, work calendar on my personal systems, mostly because it makes dealing with the interface between the two simpler (plus then I get meetings showing up on my watch).
My life is simple enough that I just dupe the occasional MTWTF personal events as "reserved blocks" onto my work calendar, and maintain my off-hours and SS personal calendar separately.

Where is a good place to start this research? We have crowdstrike falcon at work, and I would love to know what they are monitoring.
