Study Finds Average Value of Lost Laptop nearly $50,000
A study by the Ponemon Institute and Intel found that the average cost of replacing a lost laptop is $49,246 when you factor in such costs as replacement, data breach and lost intellectual property. This number may seem high but when you consider how valuable the information stored on a corporate laptop is it begins to sound a lot more reasonable. The dollar amount also does not take into account the headaches and stress that come with explaining to employees, customers, shareholders and the public that your business lost their confidential information.
I'm InTouch SecurePC Remote Access Terminal
A smarter way to allow employees to work from outside the office is using the I’m InTouch SecurePC Remote Access Terminal. SecurePC users can remotely control their office workstation from anywhere using the I’m InTouch remote access service. No files can be saved to the terminal and all data stays safely on the workstation in the office behind your corporate firewall. This means that if a SecurePC is lost, the only cost is replacing the hardware - About $600, a lot less than the nearly $50,000 cost of replacing a laptop with information stored on it.
