07/06/2004 08:31 AMThe 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.

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.

07/13/2004 08:58 AMUK military: iPOD is security risk: Look, do we need
anymore proof that Apple is evil?
The pocket-sized digital music player, which can store thousands of
songs, is one of a series of banned gadgets that the military will no
longer allow into most sections of its headquarters in the UK and
abroad.
Devices with large storage capabilities — most notably those
with a Universal Serial Bus (or USB) plug used to connect to a
computer — have been treated with greater suspicion of late by
government agencies and corporations alike.
This comes on the heels of consulting firm Gartner's recommendation
to ban
iPods in the workplace.

has been around for
years is actually (oh no!) a
hard
drive, and came out with a
scary
report about how they should be completely banned from the
workplace, because (just like the telephone, the internet and a
photocopying machine before it) it can be misused. Well, someone over
in the UK military apparently believed all the hype and has decided to
ban the iPod. Thank goodness, the world is now safe from
military staff listening to MP3s.

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