Communications Security

For laptops, users must be sure to secure not only the data that goes in and out of the system, but also the laptop itself. Because of its portable nature, a laptop is much more likely to be stolen than a desktop.

Antitheft Measures

There is a growing concern for security and safety with portables because their small size and weight make them easy targets for thieves. A prime target is the traveler at the airport. In that environment, you should always be sure you keep tight control over your computer; otherwise, it can easily be stolen.
