Our approach
In this day and age many companies are positioned in multiple locations or employ personell which travels frequently. At the same time desktop requirements are increasing, as VPNs and mobile devices allow more flexible working. This development brings many advantages for companies and their employees, but also creates new risks.
According to the research company Gartner, every 53 seconds a notebook is stolen. Additionally, devices may be lost. While the material loss is bearable for most companies, what happens with the lost data? Many organizations are unaware, which possibilities criminials have after finding or stealing a notebook.
In a scenario-based assessment we evaluate what impact the loss of a laptop would have for your organization. The goal of the test is the identification of risks, which could lead to a loss of sensitive data. Are your notebooks sufficiently protected? Let us find out.
Notebook data can be protected from illicit access by using encryption modules such as Bitlocker. Furthermore, BIOS passwords can be used to protect the system. This would hinder attackers from exchanging the hard disk of the device and using the computer otherwise.
