Protecting Mobile Data

According to the Travel Industry Association of America, there will be over 140 million business person-trips made by Americans in 2004. And you can bet there will be laptops along for the ride on many of those trips, laptops laden with valuable corporate data and enabled with VPN access, a virtual red carpet into the enterprise network.

Some of those laptops will be stolen, which is bad, but at least you know when a machine has been taken. Other laptops will be quietly compromised across insecure hotel networks, their secrets acquired by persons unknown. The following articles address and discuss a variety of issues in this area of information security.
