The Challenge
The staggering number of USB and other plug-and-play-enabled ports, as well as CD/DVD writers on laptops and PCs, has driven the potential for serious data leakage occurring within your enterprise. These connection ports and removable media allow users to extract any data in an instant using common storage devices like USB flash drives, iPods, or Bluetooth devices - effectively making all enterprise computers vulnerable to this data leakage threat.
