Headline points from Intel:
- According to a new study, more than 300 US businesses and other organizations lost more than 86,000 laptop PCs worth a staggering $2.1 billion.
- The majority of these companies with significant amounts of confidential data on their mobile PCs do not take advantage of even basic security practices.
- Transportation venues, such as airports and train stations are not the riskiest places; seemingly safe locations, such as homes and hotel rooms account for more than 40 percent of laptop disappearances.
- Workers face up to a 10 percent chance of losing their laptops, depending on the industry they work in.
Laptop security is discussed during the Information and IT Security Workshop, one of 15 subjects that make up the forthcoming Security Management Stage 1 Course, 14-25 March 2011. Click here for details.
