Flash drives simplify the process of carrying data from the endpoints. However, they also bring a serious downside - exposing data on endpoints to risk of leakage and theft. Small size, easy affordability and play-and-play use make it difficult for organizations to know who is taking their data, when and where. By enforcing USB usage policies on end users, encrypting data in flash drives, creating shadow copies and using only whitelisted flash drives, organizations can securely use flash drives.
