Microsoft has announced that its employees in China will only be allowed to use iPhones for work-related activities starting in September. The move comes as the US tech giant’s global Secure Future Initiative (SFI), aims to standardize employee cybersecurity measures across the company’s operations. The decision revealed in an internal memo seen by Bloomberg, will affect hundreds of workers across mainland China who will now be required to use the Microsoft Authenticator password manager and Identity Pass app. The world’s most valuable company will give iPhone 15 models to staff currently using Android handsets, including those made by Chinese manufacturers like Huawei and Xiaomi. Why is Microsoft pushing for staff in China to switch to iPhones? The edict comes amid heightened cybersecurity concerns for Microsoft.
