Employees regularly use their laptops outside their organisations. The devices are transported in cars or on public transportation, left in other peoples' offices during breaks, or left unattended in hotel rooms. Laptops are thus exposed to a higher risk of theft and can also be easily forgotten or lost. If a laptop is lost, replacing it involves costs and effort. Moreover, data that is not backed up is lost, as well. Unauthorised persons could also access sensitive data, which could lead to further damage. In many cases, this is significantly more severe than the mere material loss of the laptop.
