We wrote a compliance policy that stated that any and all files related to music, movies, or copyrighted material would be deleted without question or reason. Some of the call center folks thought they were smart renaming those files with different extensions. Little did they realize that our scanning suite checked the actual file headers. The angry calls came in for about a week until management got wind of the volume of calls, at which point they sent out an email stating that anyone storing copyrighted materials on the SAN or NFS would be terminated without question. We never heard another peer from the user community.
Holy crap that’s a strict policy.
We’re not as strict, but EPO blocks access to all unapproved removable media in our policy. We limit the amount of internet access people have, but even so we still wind up with gigs of useless media sitting around. The worst offenders are the people who are approved.
