RE: Notebook policy (need advice)

Hi,

The classic information security answer would be that it all depends on the risk
level of the information on the notebooks. At my employer, we have full disk
encryption and me issue employs with laptop locks. Also, there are very strict
rules about not leaving your laptop unattended.

It would be wise not to have laptop users run as system administrators. Of
course, it will all depend on what the users are doing.

Subject: Notebook policy (need advice)

Hi guys!, in my company we have a lot of notebooks, but theres no formal
security policy about them.

Can you tell me how do you handle this?

Do you give an local admin for the owner?, do you use full disk
encryption?, what about anti-virus and external scans?

Any idea is going to be really preciated.

Cheers!!
