It's time to review laptop security programs
Given the continuing news of laptop thefts on the federal government level, public and private enterprises should be reviewing and beefing up mobile security programs. One way is to follow how a medical staffing organization approached the effort for its road warrior workforce. Not only does the company limit and restrict the type of data that can be accessed or housed on a laptop, it has put in a tight-access permission system and is using a VPN as well for corporate network authentication. Using some special software, IT retains complete access and control over every PC, whether it's on a desk or on the road.
