Laptop Security -Where?d My Laptop Go?


Laptops are lovely. They are convenient, mobile, powerful and prestigious.They are also thief magnets. Over 400,000 laptops disappear each year, leaving their owners wondering where they went, what is happening with their data and what to do next.Some of the laptops are just lost ? left in cabs, at hotels, restaurants and at conferences and events. Many of these laptops (but not all) find their way back to their lucky owners.Some are stolen by people ? many of them co-workers, service staff or people taking advantage of a ?moment of opportunity? ? who just want to have a laptop.Some are stolen by professional ?Laptop Lifters? who may work in teams to steal the laptops for resale.And others are stolen, not for the laptop itself, which may be a bonus, but for the data on the laptop?s hard drive ? financial or identity data or business plans or data.For example:QualComm?s CEO had his laptop stolen while he was conducting a Press Conference. Reportedly, some of QualComm?s most valuable secrets were on that laptop, unencrypted and only protected by an easily bypassed password.A Department of State laptop containing high level information on nuclear proliferation was stolen right from State?s headquarters. Two administrators were fired and other personnel were reprimanded.Think about it ? What other piece of equipment or personal possession do we routinely carry around that is worth over a thousand dollars, by itself, and may be worth thousands more in data? Why wouldn?t that be attractive to thieves?A large part of the problem is less on the hardware or software end of things, it?s in the HUMAN side of things. By raising our awareness many of the vulnerabilities can be greatly lessened.There are 3 areas of vulnerability: 1) Securing the actual laptop, 2) Securing the Data, 3) Getting the laptop back.
