A Donaldson employee uploaded work files to Dropbox.com so that they could easily access them from home. The files were confidential, and contained important data. These files are transmitted in clear text and are stored in a similar manner. This has the potential for malicious activity related to this data that is outside of our control.
We prevent this from occurring by restricting who can access sites like Dropbox. The solution can be as simple as using our AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client (instead of an uncontrolled file sharing site) to ensure the connection is encrypted and can also be accessed at home.
