Do you allow your users to attach their personal devices to the MSU PCs that they use (and you support)? If yes, do you have any protection in place? What works and what doesn't? If no, do you have a departmental policy or just rely on good-citizenship? Do you disable the USB ports on the front of PCs? We've been wrestling with this issue over here. We do not have a policy in place; we do allow staff to attach their own USB keys, etc. but we ask our student staff to not use their devices. Today's CNN article emphasizes more dangers with allowing users to do this, so I am wondering how different departments are handling it. http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/ptech/03/13/factory.installed.virus.ap/inde x.html <http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2008/03/14/lawrence.burning.homes.c nn> Thanks for any feedback and ideas! ~ Esther Esther V.
