The problem with this is that a cell phone makes a very nice, readable copy of anything that you can display on your screen - if the idea is that he want's to control all copies of the data, he is really out of luck My 2 cents Joel Joel Rosenblatt, Director Network & Computer Security Columbia Information Security Office (CISO) Columbia University, 612 W 115th Street, NY, NY 10025 / 212 854 3033 http://www.columbia.edu/~joel Public PGP key http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x90BD740BCC7326C3 On Mon, May 6, 2013 at 11:11 AM, Russ Leathe <Russ.Leathe () gordon edu> wrote:
Our President wants to send a file to all fac/staff that will prevent them from downloading, printing, saving the file. In otherwords, a true read-only. What have you used for this?

I'm not looking for a technical answer, just whether or not your schools do this. I'm trying to bring some support documents to the table so we can make an educated decision on if it's something we want to pursue. My feeling is that this is VERY unusual for HigherED, but links to policies or an email (with a yes/no) would be much appreciated. If you like I can compile my responses (anonymously) and repost to the list if there's any interest. This is just a followup to my original mail. All replies, save one, were posted to the list. They were unanimously "no". Since there aren't any "best practices" or obvious evidence of other schools doing this, the internal auditor has thankfully withdrawn his request. To followup on the technical portion. If we were forced into doing this, I was going to suggest something like <http://www.authenware.com/> as one piece of the puzzle. That plus some network analysis and mobile device tracking would hopefully give us at least an understanding if they even came on campus.
