> The policy at my previous employer (we handled a lot of extremely sensitive information), was pretty draconian: data never leaves a company desktop, laptop, or blackberry.
Really? And how do these devices inter-communicate if data never leaves from anywhere to anywhere?
Burying a laptop to the ground would make it safe enough to keep out the bad guys.
- gnopgnip 12y agoYou can use citrix or terminal services so the sensitive data never leaves the servers.
- gaadd33 12y agoCouldn't someone just screenshot the citrix or terminal services session while the user is using it?
- rayiner 12y agoSure, but that only gets you one screen of a sensitive document, and is a lot harder to do inconspicuously than to surreptitiously look at a file that a user saved to his personal laptop's desktop with the filename "Details of Unannounced IPO.doc."
