Awareness and USB Drives

USB drives have become a commonplace method of transporting and storing data in the workplace environment. These devices can become infected with various forms of malware and then infect other PC's and networks with the user being unaware of what is happening. Unless they have been given proper security awareness training in the proper usage and protection of these devices.

Organizations and people need to be aware of the security issues with these devices and act accordingly. Proper policies and guidance along with solid security awareness education and training will go a long way towards averting infection, data loss and leakage.
