SST IT Security Awareness

Laptop Computers and Mobile Devices

Secure laptop computers and mobile devices at all times: Lock them up or carry them with you at all times.

In your office or at home, at coffee shops, meetings, conferences, etc. - Remember: Phones and laptops get stolen from cars, houses, and offices all the time.

Don't keep sensitive information or your only copy of critical data, projects, files, etc. on portable or mobile devices (such as laptop computers, data phones, memory sticks, CDs/DVDs/floppy disks, PDAs, etc.) unless they are properly protected. These items are extra vulnerable to theft or loss.

Make backup copies of files or data you are not willing to lose, and store the copies very securely!
