Did you know?

  • A laptop computer has a 1-in-10 chance of being stolen.
  • Nearly half of all laptop thefts occur in offices or classrooms.
  • 98% of stolen laptops are never recovered.
  • Laptops have a higher rate of security problems than desktop workstations.

In addition, follow these steps to protect your devices:

  • Physically secure your laptop computer by keeping it in an office that can be locked. Also, use a cable lock to secure it to a desk or heavy object in or outside of the office.
  • Do not store sensitive or confidential data on mobile devices unless you have been authorized to do so.
  • Avoid leaving your mobile devices and media unattended.
  • Always use a password to protect your portable device against unauthorized use.
  • Turn Bluetooth power off by default, and do not let it be set to discoverable.
  • Turn off the radio switch for your laptop's Wi-Fi access when you are not using it.
  • If a portable device is lost or stolen, contact the Technology Department immediately.
