Microsoft is telling its employees in China that they have to use company-supplied iPhone 15 devices for work going forward as part of its cybersecurity plans.
Microsoft is reportedly requiring all of its China-based employees to stop using Android phones for work purposes and switch to Apple iPhones for cybersecurity reasons. Microsoft staff in China will also have to use Microsoft’s Authenticator password manager and Identity Pass app on their iPhones for work to verify their identities in order to log into work devices, and Android access will be blocked.
Microsoft notified the hundreds of impacted staff via an internal memo, Bloomberg reports Monday.
