Hi,
Recently we had a scare where a laptop when missing, (it turned up several days later - stupid user!) NOW the bosses want extra security on the laptops.

I was wondering what people generally recommend?

So far, I have come up with:
BIOS password
H/D encryption
Asset Tagging

What do you recommend? Is there an ideal level of security?
chuck.

Edit: Dam typos!

How about those cables that connect a laptop to a desk? Someone walking around with bolt cutters is bound to stand-out.

There's also Lojack for Laptops, but I really don't know much about it.
