Comment Just another g***amn hype (Score 1) 327

This seems to me like just another ridiculous hype to boost new "security" products. Lets face it: There may be a small additional threat to security by USB-devices, but it s marginal at best. If you re concerned about security it all comes down to a good policy, a strict enforcement of the need to know-principle (hey, you do NOT need to buy any additional products, you CAN do it by means of any recent operating system) and last but definitely not the least a good treatment of employees. Treating employees like rubbish -common in almost any company nowadays- is a surefire way to endanger your operation, no matter how many shiny security-products you bought. Extensive use of technology in this case will never work because fixing a human problem by technical means NEVER does.
Just think about the distribution of information, get a good and reasonable security-policy -one which is accepted, understood AND supported by your employees- into action, follow some basic guidelines regarding security-infrastructure (firewalls, network segmentation, segregation of duties, and a buttload of antivirus/antispyware), start treating your employees like human beings instead of suspicious animals and you ll be reasonably safe.
