With all the new memorystick similar devices entering widespread use,
and employees indiscriminately copying it to them, documents and source
code is floating all over the place unprotected. that is why encrypting
the files themselves are the only solution.
In the old days, floppies were ripped out of machines to enhance
security. Today you would have to rip of the CD, DVD, memory stick
readers, USB port ...
The digital camera could even make the monitor dangerous, since could
photograph quite a hunk of crucial source in jig time.
The classic way to handle this is limit need to know. Each employee
handles only a tiny hunk of the code and is never told how it fits
into the big picture. Even those co-ordinating don't see the small
picture or the bigger picture.
This means corrupting one employee does not give the corrupter an
overall picture of what is going on.
