Re: Data on sensitive computers Was: UC Berkeley Prof warning a class of students that the person who stole his laptop is in a heck of a lot of trouble....

This brings up interesting questions.  Are there security measures that
your school takes to protect sensitive computers/laptops/hard drives
(such as Accounting, Health Services, etc?)

Do you force all sensitive data to be saved on a remote server in a
secure location (perhaps utilizing Terminal Services)?  I am starting to
wonder if this is something that we should investigate into with
sensitive departments so if the hard drives are stolen then we'd like to
know there's not much we should be worried about.
