There's also the possibility Mr Bad guy will find a way to implement the jailbreak software into crimeware, in such a way that it bypasses the usual checks.

 

So always patch, unless it's MS patches kb3161608 and kb3172605, which seem to be breaking a heap of legitimate sites our staff are using.

Oh - you're implementing the official patch, not re-jailbreaking the phones that it "patched"

 

Gotcha. Thought you meant you were fixing the broken jailbreaks.

Do BYOD's come under your ICT support scope though? Assuming you have a guest WiFi network for BYO Devices so if you don't officially have to support them, you can just smile n wave

....Sorry sucka's but you wanted a (insert favorite hated device here) instead of what we recommend.

Unfortunately some of our Board members have their own devices and with some of our Managers, it's less stress if we just let them do their own thing, up to a point.

 

So we saw the writing on the wall and said to staff they could bring their own phones and tablet's at least.

 

Which is fine by us considering most stuff we can push out via Citrix, our Mobile Device Management software has been locked down to encrypting the devices (including external storage) - Android, IOS and the one WinPhone a staff member has - requiring at least a PIN (with 0000, 1234 and the usual suspects being blacklisted from being used), a three strikes policy on the PIN input that results in a complete wipe of the device and device tracking (which we have used a few times and is how a staff member found their "lost" phone had actually slipped under the seat).

 

So on the whole we do pretty well with managing mobile devices.

 

Plus I don't really mind making sure devices are up to date, it's a small price to pay considering the damage to reputation if anything ever got leaked.

Yeah I hear you, prev place I worked at, the CEO/Owner would blast into the ICT office fresh from a trip from China, drop some weird new-fangled shiny device on my desk, yell at me to have it up and running for him; to do what with I never knew, the manuals were all in Chinese- all before his next meeting which was 10 minutes before.:ermm:

 

Good times.

 

What MDM system are you using?

 

Someone has a winphone??? LOL

We use on-premises MobileIron, Telstra also has a managed service using MobileIron but we limit ourselves to on-premises services because our staff actually know what they are doing.

^this has made me feel good today!

 

Except my WIFI is crap and apple only lets you download updates via WIFI, even though this one is only 25mb!

 

edit:  I see " CVE-2016-4654: Team Pangu " on apples website - does this mean the people who did the jailbreak reported the problem to apple? interesting.

mooching work supplies ... printing 300 pages for some light reading tonight... wpmo... the reading

 

That's the sort of thing that requires a pick-me up first.

 

Might a suggest popping in for some brownies and ice cream on the way home, pop said brownies in the microwave for 10 seconds and then add a sh*t tonne of ice cream on top.

 

Works for me, doesn't work as well for my waistline.
