How does this actually work? Does Windows keep a log of files accessed or copied? Or does the company install additional security software that audits this?
My company knows every file every person accesses, where it came from, and where it went. They lock down computers down to the individual USB port. If you put a thumb drive in the wrong port Windows machine, a guy from IT Security shows up within 30 minutes.
That was the day I found out that if I try to charge my hotspot at work, it shows up as a USB drive.
... [Another Company A supervisor] was asking if there is anything I have with me associated with company IP. I have a memory disk that contains lab data that I plan to write report on, and papers/reports I plan to read at home. Now that I have been exited from (COMP ANY A), can you check what is the best way of handling the information and how sensitive they are? Can I still read the papers/reports from the memory disk?
> 16. After receiving the above text from Tan, Tan's supervisor asked him to return the flash drive (which Tan's text message referred to as a "memory disk") to Company A.> 17. At approximately 5:15 pm on 12/12/18, Tan returned to the Research Technology Center at Company A where he provided a USB flash drive to his supervisor. The USB flash drive was Tan's personal property, which he was not authorized to utilize within Company A's space. There is no record of Company A having issued a USB flash drive to Tan.
