Yesterday a friend of mine had his laptop stolen from his car while he was having lunch. The scary thing is on this laptop was not only his personal and financial records, but his company’s financial records too. Fortunately he has everything backed up, encryption software, along with a tracing software to help protect the information along with help with the recovery.
This got me to thinking what would happen if I was to loose my laptop, or if it was to suffer a loss of data? Some quick research shows that 1 in 10 laptops are stolen every year. With Identity Theft on the rise the value is not in the laptop, it is in the information in the laptop.
Do you have any resources in place to protect your information on your laptop? If not now would be a great time to get some resources to help protect the information that is on your laptop.
