I don’t know if anyone else in other states or departments were told about this
As of Jan 19 MD state employees have to DL and consent to a new security system that’s attached to our state emails.
I was informed that the app can have full access to your devices, surveillance your device, monitor your activity, and erase portions or all of your devices if it detects what it deems suspicious.
I was told if I attempt to check my work email outside of work I’ll have to consent to the new security system. They said it would be a major overhaul to provide everyone with a work phone.
I simply said to my department staff until I can be provided with a work phone I’ll only be checking my email during my posted office hours. Anything urgent will be handled during my next contracted time.
I don’t consent to the big brother app, sorry boss.
