My employer had us install a software called “fleet osquery”, they said it’s a first step toward inventory management of all the devices for IT. I guess it also adds a layer of safety by making sure nobody installs any dangerous software/malware on their work devices.

Looking at the docs , it looks like this can be used to remotely execute scripts on my laptop, should I be worried about my employer spying on me during work hours ? Or logging information about what I’m doing ?

    Work laptop of course, if it was my personal device I wouldn’t even care what they say. I think I’m going to isolate my work laptop from my home network now though.

      This is always a good idea. Your work IT department doesn’t trust you, and you shouldn’t trust them.
