"Pod Slurping - An easy technique for stealing data" Pod slurping, defined by Wikipedia, "is the act of using a portable data storage device such as an iPod to illicitly download large quantities of confidential data by directly plugging it into a computer where the data is held, and which may be on the inside of a firewall." The impact of uncontrolled use of portable devices such as iPods, USB sticks, flash drives and PDA and how they can lead to major security breaches is explored in the white paper "Pod Slurping - An easy technique for stealing data" from GFI Software. "Easy connectivity and high speed data transfer has become increasingly more widespread - a user may simply plug the device into a USB or FireWire port and they are up and running - no drivers or configuration required! In practice, this means that a data thief can get away with precious data, and a negligent employee can dump more viruses into the corporate network." GFI offers a solution which could ensure complete control over portable storage devices without jeopardizing a company's productivity. Learn how to mitigate the risks of company information theft and protecting yourself from Pod Slurping with "Pod Slurping - An easy technique for stealing data".
