Using Unencrypted USB Devices at Work

Using Unencrypted USB Devices at Work

The main reason for using USB sticks is to transfer data from one computer to another. It may not necessarily be to even give to someone else, but to take home to do some work or move onto a laptop before going on a business trip. USB sticks are prone to loss and theft and that means data leakage, especially when using unencrypted sticks. SENT has the unique ability to fulfill this need by letting you send files securely to yourself so you can pick them up on another computer and do it securely. You don’t have to setup so called “dummy” accounts or use personal email accounts, you can keep it all very safe and get the job done.  The latest report on USB drive usage from DarkReading.com discusses the security threats with USB usage at work, with employees relying on non-encrypted USB drives.
