As organizations like yours place more and more data on notebook hard drives, the risk of losing supposedly secure information grows rapidly. A perfect example was the theft of a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) notebook computer in 2006. The notebook held personal data on nearly 27 million American veterans. The information was extremely sensitive — and thought to be worth more than $30 million on the black market.
The government contractor responsible for the PC shouldn’t have had the data in the first place. And, even worse, the information wasn’t encrypted. The VA’s stolen PC was eventually recovered and the data loss was contained. But the scare was a striking reminder of how these breaches can happen at any time, to any organization.
Today, many state and federal compliance regulations require organizations like yours to encrypt customer personal data stored on PC disk drives. Lenovo offers a range of industry-leading solutions, including integrated software- and hardware-based data encryption, password management, and fingerprint identity technology.
