Few people realize that those thumb drives that bankers lose often contain sensitive customer data such as account #'s, SSN's, mortgage info or other non-public personal info (NPPI) that is supposed to be protected by a set of stringent controls including encryption of storage devices. However, it's not an incident unless the person who lost it reports it (sometimes they just fall out of a briefcase or a pocket unknowingly) or a compromise is reported. Policy is certainly in need of review and enforcement as Dan points out. In addition, every institution's Security Awareness Training program should cover these simple but crucial issues and should be reinforced frequently. Hey Dan - conduct your next survey at the dry cleaners. Chances are you'll find a ton of thumb drives there as well. - mick kless Wed, 13 Oct 2010 13:57:57 +0100
