| Protecting Your Laptop |
With over 600,000 laptops stolen every year, the possibility of not having your laptop tomorrow is pretty good. According to Gartner, the chances of your laptop being stolen this year is 1 in 10. That is a 10% chance that your laptop will be stolen. What about losing it or misplacing it? That surely takes your chances up to about 20% or so.Here is a real life story for you. Last month I was getting off the plane in Las Vegas where I was attending a conference with a good friend of mine. My good friend, MD I will call him, is a successful businessman, high ranking Army officer, and all around good guy. When I landed, we spoke about how he had spent the last 12 hours trying to track down his laptop, after he had left it in a rental car for only 20 minutes. The rental car was snagged by an unknowing renter with MD’s laptop tucked away in the back seat. As I spoke with MD about his mishap, I inquired about his obvious efforts to protect his laptop, data, and information before he errantly left it in the rental car. His answer was similar to most that lose a laptop, “I did not have time, nor did I think it would happen to me!” As he called the rental car agency for the next four days trying to locate his laptop, I educated him on some basic steps that could be performed to protect his “next” laptop.
