Encrypt all of your laptops, or else...
How easy is it to lose a laptop computer? Very easy. More than 5,000 laptops are lost in taxis in London, New York, Chicago and other large cities every year, and many more disappear at airports and in other situations.
And that means IT executives must make the security investment to encrypt their company laptops and secure sensitive data. "As a CSO, one of your top priorities is probably to keep your company off the front page of the news. Is it inexcusable to have laptops in the field with unencrypted hard drives,'' writes NetworkWorld. While it could become costly and at times complicated, the experts say it worth the money and effort to get the right encryption solution to insure total security.
