Missing laptop at Interop, not encrypted? What are these people thinking?
So this morning I am having some coffee in theHotel and a person sitting next to me is telling is friends sitting with him that he had his laptop stolen last night while he was drinking at the bar. I looked over and asked him if he had his entire hard disk encrypted? He said no his company goes not offer that as of yet to its employees, I gave him my card and told him to have his CIO call me and I would help out. Then that got me to think, with everything that Interop shows there were only two vendors who offer this product and they are in the last row, in a far back corner of Interop.
Maybe these companies need to pay some more money and get out of the corners to sell the products, or is it because most CIO’s don’t care until it happens to their company? Does your company have full disk encryption for all of your company laptops and also do they have protections for your PDAs?
