June 28, 2006Beware the iPod?
This isn't new but I've wanted to post about this for a while now. With the popularity of iPods, a new threat emerges...less specifically about iPods and more about the fact that storage devices are increasing in capacity and decreasing in size to the degree that this becomes a real challenge in keeping company confidential data secure. This trend has significant implications to data theft in the enterprise.
Check out the article on "iPod Slurping"

Will the challenge of securing data never end?
