What to Know:
• IT&S is launching a series of security initiatives to ensure all confidential information, especially medical and patient information, is safe from loss or theft.
• The first in this series of upgrades is the implementation of IronKey USB flash drives, which are fully encrypted portable memory drives that require a password to access any saved files or information.
• All employees (clinical and non-clinical) – including those employed by affiliates and joint ventures – who use portable USB drives to transfer computer files and information must start using IronKey USB drives as of October 1, 2011.
• On that date, Non-IronKey USB flash drives will lose the ability to have files and information saved on them from laptop/desktop computers
