IT Security Everywhere

Laptop and Notebook Security Issues

 (courtesy of TechRepublic)

A big problem
Sixty-four percent of the respondents said a company laptop has either been
stolen or has disappeared. Of those, only 12 percent said they were able to
recover the laptop, as the chart below shows.

No security policy
Despite the high percentage of those who had experienced theft, the majority of
respondents said they (or their company) do not have a security policy addressing
laptops and do not regularly purge laptops to ensure they do not contain sensitive
information.

And although a majority of the respondents said that they do not keep a list of
passwords on their laptops, most also do not use encryption.
