Portable Music Players & Flash Drives Pose Data Danger

June 13th 2005 | Storage

Portable music players and flash drives could pose a serious security risk, say researchers who found that 84% of firms know the data storage devices are being used by staff, but few are policing what people are putting on them:

Almost one-third of organisations say users are connecting up the devices to PCs without permission. As the removable drives get cheaper and can store more data, firms risk losing huge amounts of sensitive information.
