Probably more dependent on one's immediate manager and/or chain than on company wide policy. Personally, I would not want to report to someone who spends the majority of time remote. But maybe this person is a really great boss.

> I would not want to report to someone who spends the majority of time remote Why? There is really little to no difference if person is in next cubicle or video chat away.

For me it is the glance over to the next cubicle or next aisle to see if the person is on phone, heads down working, or is easily interruptable. I don't have remote technology to do that. The best I have is an IM which is a cognitive load for me and an interruption for them.

That would be covered by policy controls, not technical ones—it's the same issue as someone taking pictures of the screen with their personal phone. You'd need to address the actual issue that's causing people to do that (ill-thought-out policies, employee actually working for $INTELLIGENCE_AGENCY, employee enjoys espionage,…).

A recent example would have been the data that was stolen from Google and given to Uber – the employees who were qualified enough to design their own LIDAR chips and boards would equally be qualified to circumvent any such protections.

And that's how / why the legal system is involved and it's cost them their job. Security isn't just preventing something from ever being possible.
