Implement programs to detect and block p3p programs Translation: Don't even think about trying any new technologies that could improve document handling. In particular, shut down NetMeeting
Perform random keyword searches of files that are stored throughout the network for illicit materials Translation: Destroy all trust relationships in your company, and ensure that no one stores anything useful on corporate systems
Scan networks to determine how many computers use P2P programs, how many files have been transferred and how much space those files have consumed. Translation: Make sure that all your developers start blocking the port scanning software originating out of IT
Limit the amount of hard drive space or the number of CD-RW drives available to employees Translation: Cripple your staff's ability to keep historical data in an easily accessible location. Make sure that your developers cannot actually do any development
Launch an aggressive educational program to alert employees to the company policy on file sharing. Translation: Propagandize your employees by spreading enough FUD around that they disbelieve everything you say
Better yet, recommend these steps to your competition
