Providing The Laptop To Outside People

[sindhara]

Another way in which laptops could pose a security threat is usage of laptops by people outside the work circle. First step in computer laptop security is it should never leave the hands of the executive with whom it is entrusted. It is also better to create a password to restrict access to laptops by unauthorized personnel within or outside the organization.

Providing open access to e-mail and files on your laptop computer to outside people are obvious security risks. Critical data like finance information, salaries, social security numbers, credit card data, tax returns etc are easy targets for identity theft.
