The iPod may be popular, but also poses such a major security risk for businesses, that enterprises should seriously consider banning the iPod and other portable storage devices, according to a study by research firm Gartner Inc. The devices, using a Universal Serial Bus (USB) or FireWire (IEEE 1394), present risks to businesses on several fronts: from introducing malicious code into a corporate network, to being used to steal corporate data, the Stamford, Conn.-based research company said in its report "How to Tackle the Threat From Portable Storage Devices," published Friday.

Forget Camera Phones, Now iPods Are A
Security Risk

Forget Camera Phones, Now iPods Are A
Security Risk 07/06/2004 05:28 AM
Well now that analysts have gotten people all worked up about the security horror of camera phones, they've now set their sites on another evil security villain: the iPod. That's right, your iPods is a corporate risk. Hell, it could be used to introduce a virus or even to (gasp! oh no!) steal company files. Just wait until these analysts types learn about those USB keychain drives that just about everyone has already... oh wait, the report warns about those too. They then suggest that companies ban just about every new technology, no matter how useful it might be, just because there's a small risk that it could be misused. At what point do analysts stop freaking out about every new (or even not-so-new) technology, and realize that (a) banning the technology will never work and (b) will often make a company less productive than its rivals who learn to embrace new technologies? Is there a risk in any kind of additional, portable storage medium? Sure thing, but there's just as big a risk in someone ftp-ing files to an outside server. What it really means is that an IT staff no longer has to just be afraid of threats over the network, but also need to realize that threats can come from portable storage devices. Expect a ton of new client-side security products to start protecting on that side of the fence in the near future.

Managing 802.11b Risk for Enterprises

Managing 802.11b Risk for Enterprises 05/23/2004 09:00 PM
Enterprises are reacting sensibly to the issue of low-speed (20 Mbps or slower) Wi-Fi interference techniques documented by Australian researchers: It's not so much a flaw as a part of the spec that allows a certain kind of attack to disable an access point; there are many others of varying degree of severity, too, including just bringing an unpleasant 2.4 GHz cordless phone into an office and leaving it turned on without a connection to a cordless base station. The reaction cited in this Computerworld article is sensible: managers are examining their risk and noting that with many access points, an attacker would have to attack numerous locations at once to have an effect, and would then be vulnerable to physical detection. All 802.11a and any 802.11g networks running at faster encodings (using OFDM) can't be attacked in this fashion, either....

iPod Corporate security risk oh really 07/06/2004 05:20 AM

Lets be honest the people who run your IT department probably have had iPod's, USB Sticks for a long time. Now the big suprise I bet they have had them plugged into the corporate network sharing music and files for the past couple of years with their fellow IT coworkers. So I am sure they realized long ago that it would be easy for someone to upload something nasty from home onto the network via one of these devices. I also bet those IT departments have put in place policies for such devices.

If your company hasn't then you need to fire you lead IT manager. One thing the majority of IT professionals don't need, is some analyst figuring this out about 5 years to late. [ZDNet]
