This procedure is a specific extension of the IUP Acceptable Use of Information Technology Resources Policy. As such, the Senate Library and Educational Services Committee (LESC) is
responsible for recommending changes to the procedure.
The use of portable electronic storage devices with IT Services-managed desktops and laptops is permitted. These devices include flash drives, memory sticks, data disks, etc. The university reserves the right to conduct security scans on portable storage devices connected to the network.
Users are strongly encouraged to store only non-sensitive data on these devices. When sensitive data is stored, IT Services encourages the use of data encryption. Users can submit an ihelp ticket to obtain data encryption assistance.
The university is not responsible for backing up data stored on these devices. As these devices are susceptible to loss, theft, data corruption or damage, users are strongly encouraged to back up the data to a non-portable storage device. The university is not liable for any data loss on these devices.
