Hi All,
Our marketing department are investigating using some USB devices as marketing collateral. These "things" are basically a piece of folded card with product info on and inside is a USB key which you can pull out and plug into your PC or laptop.
The USB key then launches a website which contains further information about our products. You cannot write anything to the USB key.
Now its a great marketing idea, but I am wondering about the IT implications as all our customers are either universites or corporations. Would these devices cause problems with USB security policies at corporations?
If you work at a corporation what is your stand on these types of devices? I understand the issues with regarding data loss of USB harddisks but these things are readonly.
Is our marketing department safe to use this, or should they abandon the idea?
Any thoughts or ideas welcome!
