Tiny storage drives need security too

Internal security risks are often cited as the biggest site of exposure for enterprises. Now, new tiny storage devices are making the potential for data theft even more likely. According to a new study by security firm Vontu, Universal Serial Bus (USB) drives--those small thumb drives--can be easily used to lift confidential and valuable data from within an enterprise. And that's not accounting for all the data that's being housed on those devices on an unauthorized level. Perhaps most disappointing is that many organizations don't even have a security policy in place on this new storage technology, despite some high profile incidents in which a portable drive containing data has either been lost or stolen.
