IPMA 2010: A Hot Time in New Mexico
• One of the more scary sessions alerted managers to a security threat from their own copiers and MFDs. In-plant managers Rob Lingard, of Deseret Mutual Benefit Administrators, and Doug Maxwell, of Brigham Young University, explained how hard drives on digital copiers store all data that has ever been copied. When these devices are returned to the vendor at the end of the lease, they are often resold, and that data can be easily retrieved. The speakers advised managers to ask their vendors how they plan to delete this information, and investigate hard drive overwriting programs.
