IBM workers banned from using "USB sticks"


IBM has banned its staff from using removable storage devices.

In an advisory to employees, IBM global chief Information security officer Shamla Naidoo said the company “is expanding the practice of prohibiting data transfer to all removable portable storage devices (eg: USB, SD card, flash drive).”

The advisory stated some pockets of IBM have had this policy for a while, but “over the next few weeks we are implementing this policy worldwide.”

However, If you have the need to carry sensitive data with you SECURELY - try this.
