I have never seen a company, large or small, which disabled USB ports. Because convenience is always higher rated than security.
Glueing is much easier, can't fail with wrong configurations or roll outs, works if people have too many permissions on Linux and in a myriad of other ways.
- pjmlp 9y agoThe companies I work for, security is always higher rated than convenience. You could buy several houses, or be settled for life, with the costs to cover an eventual security breach.
- _Codemonkeyism 9y agoGreat to hear there are companies that take security seriously. The companies I've consulted with had USB not secured in the Laptops of the marketing departments I've seen - and yes some of them lost several hundred millions of $ b/c of breaches in revenue.
- speedplane 9y agoYou've never worked a large bank. They get attacked all the time, every day, over the network, with social engineering (dropping infected USB drives in the parking garage), and plain old physical theft and con-artistry. Moving any file on or off their system is a huge pain (e.g., e-mail attachments are automatically removed unless you go through a security process).
