Comment: If the NSA had protected it’s computers with CopyAlert , Edward Snowden would NOT have been able to steal secrets documents from the NSA using a Thumbdrive! CopyAlert sends REAL TIME alerts of intrusion and notification of attempted unauthorized copying of files by an instruder. It even tells you what files they attempted to steal… I can’t imagine why anyone with proprietary information to protect would not take advantage of such an inexpensive cutting edge security tool to protect their sensitive data…
