You don’t have to go very far to hear a story about a laptop computer being stolen that contained the names and personal information of hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of people. Whether they realize it or not, many organizations have employees that are carrying around company trade secrets or the personal information of employees, contractors, customers, patients, and/or students. In most cases, loss of these devices could have regulatory, legal, monetary, or reputation implications for not only the organization who lost the data, but for those whose personal information was lost.
What about your company’s sensitive data? What would happen if your closest competitor had the laptop of someone from your marketing or sales department and all of the data that resided on it? What if a missing laptop from a doctor at your hospital landed on the desk of a local news reporter? What if a faculty member at your university left a laptop in a coffee shop never to be seen again? These are all very real situations that could happen to your organization if you’re not taking precautions to ensure that data stored on these devices is protected from unauthorized access.
