Could you take a picture of the screen with your camera phone? Security rule #1: Don't believe it! Regards, Scott Ingvaldson System i Administrator GuideOne Mutual Insurance Company -----Original Message----- From: rob@xxxxxxxxx [mailto:rob@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2007 9:36 AM To: Midrange Systems Technical Discussion Subject: RE: USB key drives I wonder if the DDS keyword to not allow copy would stop that? But honestly, most people aren't concerned about a single screen shot. After all, anything that isn't too hard for some to handwrite on a single page of paper will be hard to stop from leaving the building without a full body cavity inspection and checking of tatoos for microdots. How would you stop a print screen to paper? When I send out a Notes memo that I don't want being forwarded around I can select "Prevent copying" which not only stops forward, reply with history, etc, but even stops a Windows print screen from getting the data. I even got an external email from my BP with that feature turned on and I couldn't even print screen it.

If the data is in a 5250 emulator, I could even copy&paste the text itself into a mail. Peter Colpaert Application Developer PLI - IT - Kontich, Belgium ----- Yoda of Borg are we.

Ok one door of many closed and really a pain for us IT folks that have (had) software on USB tokens for installing on to client machines. We have also reduced outbound email and monitor for attachments. Outbound FTP is restricted at the firewall too. No those pesky web uploads. Well we are working on those with a new proxy in line with the firewall. How many other avenues can you think of for taking data off the corporate network?
