5 tips to protect your laptop
About 60,000 laptops are stolen each year in the United States alone. Do you want yours to be one of them? Didn't think so... Here's a few tips to help make sure yours isn't stolen as well.
Encryption
You can use software encryption that safeguards the contents of your hard drive.
Stronger authentication
Some laptops, such as IBM, sell laptops with fingerprint pads, so that only your fingerprint can access it.
Machine GPS
This is just like the GPS systems on cars. If the laptop is stolen, the GPS can help local police track it down.
Exit inspections
Physical inspections when an employee leaves the building to ensure that laptops are not leaving with unauthorised personnel.
Stopping it from ever happening.
Proprietary date, or sensitive data, can be restricted from being downloaded onto laptops by businesses.
