What's worse than losing a $2,500 laptop you just bought a couple of months back? It's losing the data inside, which is usually more valuable than the hardware itself. It's not uncommon for laptop users to consider the contents of their computers as priceless, regardless of what these are. For business users, these can be important company documents or sensitive, confidential communications. For individuals, these can be personal files like family pictures or other such multimedia documents that are likewise valuable and irreplaceable.A quick estimate pegs the value of a laptop’s content at about $800,000, and that’s just for personal email alone. What more with business secrets and data?
Some companies have even experienced losing laptops that contained huge client and user databases in unencrypted format. These proved to be very embarassing P.R. nightmares, where the involved parties lost some public confidence due to the lapse in security.
