What does the Company Owned Business Only (COBO) policy ensure?

The Company Owned Business Only (COBO) policy is designed to ensure that the devices purchased by an organization are used solely for business purposes. This means that employees are responsible for managing these organization-owned devices, which are specifically allocated for professional tasks, communication, and operations related to their work.

The benefit of this policy is that it helps maintain control over data security and compliance, as the organization can implement and enforce security measures tailored to protect sensitive information on these devices. Additionally, it reduces potential risks associated with mixing personal and professional use, such as security vulnerabilities and inappropriate usage.

This approach is particularly important in maintaining a secure network environment, as it allows organizations to monitor the activities on their devices more effectively and ensure that business-related data remains confidential and secure.
