The point we should be taking from this article is not that the USB drives pose a threat, like cd's and floppies used to, but that as IT security professionals, we need to focus more on user training and awareness than we do now. User's are still the biggests security hole any company has and a Power Point presentation on IT security in no substitute for proper training.
