Remote Laptop Security
This list is very good and up to date, however it does not include any tips on laptop security, which has been our biggest problem lately. The largest breach known to date happened because of poor laptop security and it seems to be a popular trend around the country these days.

Storing information on a laptop is very dangerous because once the laptop is stolen it is very difficult to track and the thief has all the time in the world to crack the passwords protecting the data.

Remote laptop security allows the user to encrypt data on a laptop such that if the laptop is stonen, they can completely deny access to the data from a different computer. In the time it takes for someone to crack the laptop's password, the user could have already completely denied access to the data, making the laptop completely worthless.
