Findecanor I don't think there should just be just specific bans of specific types of devices. That's reactive security. There should be proactive security. Personell in security-sensitive environments should be educated in what devices could do and what security risks that are associated with them, so that they think before bringing devices in. At one workplace I've had, you had to get your device vetted before it was allowed on the premises. Reply
btmedic04 Just wait until yall find out that our military uniforms have pockets and youre not allowed to keep your hands in them 🤣 Reply

At one workplace I've had, you had to get your device vetted before it was allowed on the premises. This is proactive security. They are banning potentially compromised devices before they become a problem. That's proactive. Reactive security would be waiting until some goober leaks national Security secrets using his Meta glasses and then deciding maybe it's a good idea to ban them. Law enforcement and other agencies are already getting way too comfortable wearing surveillance glasses that are controlled by weird billionaire oligarchs who are obviously and visibly interfering with government operations. Those Meta glasses are all over the place slurping up data and streaming it all into Facebook (and Palintir) servers with God knows what else. ICE agents are using them a LOT for some reason 🤔 There is no valid argument to be wearing third-party recording devices while in military uniform or in military installations. If you need to record things, there are already an entire list of approved devices at your disposal. Putting national security in the hands of companies that have shown a dozen times a year they can't be trusted with that level of authority is just careless. Reply

All PED's (personal electronic devices) are prohibited from being brought into sensitive locations, those locations are loudly marked and are not the kinds of places you randomly walk into. If for whatever reason an uncleared person needs to walk into those locations, they are announced and held until the area is sanitized first. The issue with smart glasses is that it might not be evident someone is wearing them and you can end up with an otherwise cleared person walking around in a location with a recording device that absolutely should not be there. Normally if this happens, the device is seized and all material is sanitized from it, aka it gets nuked and wiped clean regardless. Yes if you bring a cell phone into my vault, it's going to be taken and completely wiped, if you are lucky it'll be returned, otherwise kiss it good bye. These smart glass's are sending everything to "the cloud", aka someone else's datacenter, and it's not possible to clean that kind of spillage (official term for it). So best thing is to just outright prohibit them across the board. Has the side benefit of also preventing someone from sending SBU (sensitive but unclassified) to "someone else's datacenter", and for the Military almost everything that isn't classified is SBU. Emails, notes, meetings, all the paperwork on your desk, practically everything that gets touched has some sort of operational impact even if it's not classified. Reply

But our entire building is 'the vault'. With a WiFi/bluetooth sensor at the door. Any signal (oops, I forgot the phone in my pocket), and it screams loudly. But no camera/USB stick/phone/PDA/whatever…. Reply
