Best kept secrets
There has been a great deal of press coverage recently regarding lost laptops and data CD’s most of which was unsecured data. While this has caused public outrage many business users do not secure the data that they carry with them each day in the same way that has caused so much outrage. Many users will carry data with them on their laptops so that they can either work on it at home, on the train or evan to show their client. However, while that data is in transit it is completely insecure and the question you need to ask yourself is “How important is that data?”. The importance of data varies between who is receiving it; for example how valuable would you staff wages be to your competition or to a headhunter? How important would the data you carry regarding your client to your clients competitors?
Typically the answer to both of these will be very important, we can help with this problem. We have a number of encryption packages that can be installed onto your system that can either create an encrypted storage container on your hard disk or on a USB memory stick. This container will only be un-encrypted while you are using it which typically will be while you are using your notebook, at all other times the container is locked using 256bit encryption. Which means you can safely carry the data knowing that should the worst happen and you loose your notebook the data will be inaccessible to anyone else.
