I’m non-techy. I work for a public school district and visit with kids in about a dozen schools. I like having my work email on my phone so teachers can get in touch if they need me. For years we’ve just used the outlook app with no real issues that I’ve noticed. We’re seeing more and more micromanagement and it sucks. We recently got notice that we have to install Cisco Duo on our phones if we want to have our email on it. Should i do that? Or just say no and be ok with being out of contact?

    Duo is just a widely used third party multifactor authentication app, which is useful for organizational cybersecurity.

    I had it on my phone for years working at a hospital and really never had any privacy concerns with it the way I have with other apps. The convenience of being able to respond to work emails on your phone is totally worth it

      Duo does location tracking. It also can perform device attestation

        Are you sure it has permission to track your location? I’m not seeing that one. Either way, they share nothing with your employer
