IBM prohibits employees from using USB flash drives in the office: For safety and reputation

According to TheReg, IBM Global Information Security Officer Shamla Naidoo has issued a new policy requiring IBM employees around the world to not use mobile storage devices for data transmission within the company.

These removable storage devices, in simple terms, are U disk, SD memory card, mobile hard disk, etc.

Naidoo said that in some of IBM's offices, the ban on mobile storage devices has been implemented and it is now decided to expand to all branches of the world.

For reasons, IBM explained that this measure can minimize the economic and reputational losses caused by misplacement, loss, misuse of U disk, etc.

What if employees want to copy data? IBM recommends using 'n' to share this synchronization service.

However, the giants admit that the ban may make some people feel unwell.
