    I would also never let corporate IT manage a device, e. g. a laptop connected to my private network at home.

    That’s pretty standard for working from home. I’m expected to use the company provided, managed laptop with my internet connection.

    I figured so long as I made sure of things like there weren’t any open file shares and things like routers and IP cameras were password protected there wasn’t a whole they could see.

    If I was really paranoid I could set up a VLAN or something.

      I know it is somewhat of an accepted practice, and a lot of people lack the means or the knowledge to handle it any other way, but I’d still like to raise awareness that you’re basically inviting a foreign actor into your network.

      The days were people would trust corporations, including their employers, to be generally benevolent and to do the right thing are long over.
