A laptop is stolen for every 15 seconds; meaning that each and every laptop is in a risk of being stolen. If a company laptop is lost in an airport, the first thing I would do is to locate a cyber where I would change the company’s’ network passwords and username. I would then notify the IT department at my company to keep watch for repeated authorization failures in the company username.In case of such incident of theft, it matters a lot what information is stored in the disk drive only if the hard disk is not encrypted………..WORD COUNT:384WORDS
