iPods pose security risk for enterprises, Gartner says
Paranoid? Actually not really. Have you seen “The Recruit” with Al Pacino and Colin Ferrel?. Okay, if you haven't this is a spoiler…but the data is being snuck out of the CIA using an USB flash drive hidden in the recessed bottom of a thermal coffee mug. I really like my flash drive, but I can certainly see how easy it would be to casually sit at a machine and drop all kinds of information on it very, very discretely. Then slip it into your pocket and off you go.
iPods pose security risk for enterprises, Gartner says: “The iPod may be popular, but also poses such a major security risk for businesses, that enterprises should seriously consider banning the iPod and other portable storage devices, according to a study by research firm Gartner Inc.”
