Part 1. What Are the Risks of Device Supervision on iPad?
At the top of Settings on your iPad, you can find a supervision text message - "This iPad is supervised and managed by your organization". This means that you get a supervised iPad where you cannot do many things, such as updating software and settings. In addition, this supervision mode would bring a range of security threats to your device.
1. Data Leakage
As the administrator can remotely monitor and control a supervised iPad, all the data and settings on the device could be exposed to others possibly. In addition, those third parties can hack the school's infrastructure, then resulting in data leakage.
2. Lost Devices
When the device gets lost, the owner of the iPad cannot immediately find the lost device. Also, they would not have the right to remotely erase the device as soon as possible. Thus, it would cause lots of losses.
3. Vulnerable to Hacking
MDM only allows the administrator to remotely update software and settings. So, the owner cannot get their software updated immediately. In this case, the software is vulnerable to be hacked, which causes the network risk.
