Security Awareness Episode 3: Computer Theft Video Description
Having something stolen from you tends to leave an indelible feeling of violation and injustice. If what is stolen is an electronic device (e.g., laptop, phone, flash drive), not only is the property gone, but so is your data. Stolen data can be more damaging in the long term than losing the physical device. The data could be personal or company data. If the device is able to be used by the thief, there are many ways the device can become of value.
The most important best practice is not leaving devices unattended in public places, including a locked car. In many cities, car break-ins are extremely common. Even if you think your risk might be lower, don’t take a chance—take your devices with you!
