What's inside
- 01~4 minYour phone is a work computer nowMost people don't realize how much work data lives on their phone — email, chat, files, customer records, MFA codes, passwords. Mobile is now the most-targeted endpoint, and the security model is fundamentally different from a laptop.
- 02~4 minLock it down without making it unusableThe minimum security baseline for any device with work data. Five settings that take 10 minutes total and prevent ~95% of common mobile compromises.
- 03~4 minApp permissions and the apps you shouldn't installEvery app asks for permissions. Most apps ask for more than they need. The principle is least privilege — only grant what the app actually requires to do its job.
- 04~4 minPublic Wi-Fi, charging, and the threats outside your houseModern devices are pretty good about public Wi-Fi (TLS handles a lot), but USB charging, AirDrop-style sharing, and Bluetooth still create exposure. Here's what actually matters in 2026.
- 05~4 minIf your device is lost or stolen — the first 30 minutesSpeed matters. Acting in the first 30 minutes is the difference between a minor inconvenience and a full-blown incident. A 5-step playbook you can do from a friend's phone or a borrowed laptop.
- 06~4 minThe work-life line on the same deviceMost BYOD friction comes from where work ends and personal begins. Realistic rules for the same device serving both, including what {{team}} can and can't see, and what to do when you leave the company.
