In brief
You should avoid putting sensitive information onto devices that are easily lost or stolen, such as a laptop or flash drive. If you need to share sensitive information, use WebShare rather than sending it via email or using a flash drive. Watch our Data Security video to see how copying data can lead to data loss.

What does
it cost me? Learning about good safe computing practices is free. However, if best practices are not used, the results are potentially very costly. Be cautious and protect yourself.
