US software firm IBM has banned all its employees from using any removable portable storage devices such as USBs and SD cards. The company's Global Chief Information Security Officer Shamla Naidoo said that the move will minimise "the possible financial and reputational damage from misplaced, lost or misused" devices. The employees will reportedly use internal networks to transfer data.
