Secure USB Drive

12 ,October, 2009 From Nahum Shemesh

Personal data doesn’t get much more sensitive than an individual’s medical and health records, so it’s no surprise that the health sector has been among the leaders in adopting best practices in data security.

This article by John D. Halamka, the chairman of the American Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel, sets out the issues and proposes a data security standard for all circumstances.

This includes mandatory encryption of data whether at rest or in transit – including the use of secure USB flash drives. It’s well worth a read.
