Do any of your employees bring a USB storage device like an iPod to work? The proliferation of portable storage devices in the workplace, whether it’s an iPod, laptop, or removable drive, has created a security problem for organizations trying to ensure the integrity of corporate data.

Disgruntled employees or consultants now have the ability to download your entire customer database or other proprietary data in a matter of minutes. Possibly even more likely you could have an existing employee unknowingly violate a corporate policy by taking work home on a USB device and losing it or having it stolen. Either scenario puts your organization at risk.

According to Gartner, portable storage devices pose two kinds of threats:

They allow users to bypass perimeter defenses, including firewalls and email server
anti-malware.
Portable storage devices allow employees, social engineers, and intruders in general
to remove sensitive information from an organization's premises. This information might include protected health information, intellectual property, employee and customer identities, etc.
