Protecting your data from removable device risk

Threats from outside the network perimeter, such as from spam or viruses, have long been recognised as major security issues. But the growing use of mass storage devices (such as iPods and USB drives) in the office means that vast quantities of data can be copied and stolen from inside corporate networks more quickly and easily than ever before.

Recent high-profile security breaches have catapulted the issue of data theft high up the business agenda. Recent thefts of customer account details at credit card companies and high street banks are just two examples that have made the news in 2005. And with the Financial Services Authority (FSA) warning financial organisations that organised criminal gangs are infiltrating their business for the purpose of stealing data on demand, the situation is only going to get worse.
