INTRODUCTION
Many organizations connect flash drives to critical networks and information systems to
transfer and store large amounts of critical information. Also, employees use USB devices to carry
sensitive work information when working remotely. Unfortunately,
there are numerous USB
security risks you should be aware of to prevent flash drives from becoming a danger to your
organization.
Many companies expose themselves to many security threats
since their USB security
programs lack adequate measures to ensure data security. In a recent survey, approximately 58%
of organizations lack safe listing and USB port control software for managing flash drive usage.
The same survey found that only 47% of businesses require their employees to encrypt data stored
in USB drives. Furthermore, 53% of companies lack appropriate controls for detecting and
preventing users from downloading sensitive data onto unauthorized USB devices[4].
