Laptop Thefts - Minimising the Loss and Preventing it Too
Like many people, when we’re on the road we travel with our laptops. Those laptops keep us connected to our business and our clients but the also make us vulnerable to taking a serious hit from thieves.
It’s not the loss of a laptop if it gets stolen than is the problem, it’s the data we could be carrying on that laptop that could be the major loss.
To minimise the potential loss we never carry vital data on our laptops (in fact our laptops carry the bare minimum in software as well). Instead we either carry it in removable data storage devices such as thumb drives that stay in our pockets or we keep it online and only access it when we need it.
Of course, not everyone can do that and for some preventing their laptops from being stolen will also prevent their data from disappearing too. You can find some good suggestions on that topic here
