Laptop and Data Theft Prevention
Make Mobile Workers Part of Your Security Solution, Rather Than Part
of Your Security Problem
The deployment of laptops among mobile work forces has increased productivity. However, with the technology and access to information that makes them so useful comes also a Pandora’s Box of security and risk management concerns regarding the amount of confidential data exposed to loss and theft.
Approximately 650,000 notebook computers are lost or stolen each year. Many of these thefts result in network breaches and compromised confidential data, not to mention a significant financial loss. New laws now require organizations to enhance their security policies and practices to include employee training. International, federal, and state regulations which mandate compliance on protecting data are , HIPAA , Gramm-Leach-Bliley , Sarbanes-Oxley, and California SB1386 they have specific wording that details training and compliance issues related to laptops.
- Do you store or collect financial, insurance or healthcare related data? How about pricing structures, new product information, legal files, employee/client records including social security and account numbers, addresses, etc.
- Savvy thieves can illegally access your entire company’s data base from a stolen laptop. Over 57% of all network breaches are from laptops.
- Do your mobile employees really understand that each and every one of them in essence carries the entire company’s data base with them?
A laptop theft prevention seminar addresses many risks which security software and hardware devices cannot. Reduce your corporate risk by training your mobile computer users and changing their behavior. Train employees to help safeguard company information assets. They need to truly understand how vulnerable their company’s and client’s data is while on the road. An employee with a basic knowledge about mobile security is able to make safer and smarter choices when traveling.
This laptop theft prevention seminar changes the way your employees treat your company's hardware and valuable company/client data. Detective Coffey crafts the seminar to be organization-specific to insure it is in line with related policies to complete your data protection policies and practices. The program is designed not only to increase the audiences knowledge and awareness of data/laptop protection, but also to influence appropriate employee behavior at all levels of the workforce from the end user to the corporate manager. The goal of the presentation is to have employees become active partners in the company’s existing data security program.
Topics of the laptop theft prevention seminar are:
- Step-by-step “how-to’s” for securing your mobile devices from theft while on the road.
- Most likely locations and scenarios which result in laptop loss and theft.
- Mobile employees’ responsibility towards protecting an organization's and their clients’ information.
- Tactics and solutions that help protect mobile devices and sensitive corporate data.

This laptop theft prevention seminar is ideal for sales meetings, safety training programs, and annual meetings.
Lies Cons and
Stolen Briefcases:
How to Outfox Crooks and Protect Your
Property While on the Road
When most people think about crimes
committed against travelers they think about personal
assaults. Perhaps that’s because violence against
travelers tends to get the most publicity. A
far larger problem, however, is the loss and theft of
personal or corporate property. In a recent survey conducted
by the Air Travel Card, the number one security and
safety problem facing travelers is the theft of property.
Thieves specifically target laptops, briefcases, purses,
wallets and carry-on bags for theft.
Thieves, both professional and opportunists
target travelers’ property for several reasons.
First, travelers are easy marks, they tend to be in
a hurry, and they are easily distracted. Secondly, criminals
know that most travelers will not take the time to report
the theft of property while traveling. Thieves find
the victimization of travelers so profitable, that some
attend a covert school that teaches them how to target
travelers and commit these crimes. What value to you
place on your company’s property and information?
After this program, travelers will
understand and be familiar with:
- How thieves target and select their
victims.
- Defensive strategies for protecting themselves while traveling.
- The 25 most common locations and
methods where travelers are victimized in airports,
hotels, and car rental agencies.
- How laptops are stolen and how
to protect them.
Identity Theft:
Protecting Your Good Name and Assets
Identity Theft is the fastest growing crime in America today according to the Federal Trade Commission. The Social Security Administration declared it a national crisis.

Your personal information is everywhere and can be easily accessed. Identity theft occurs when a thief steals that personal identifying information, such as a social security number, bank or credit card account numbers and then uses that information to masquerade as you.

This program encompasses the following topics:
- Why people commit identity theft
- Discussion of identity theft cases, myths and truths

Survival Skills:
How to Prevent From Becoming a Victim
of Street Crime While Traveling
Everyday, travelers venture into
large metropolitan cities both domestic and internationally.
No matter where travelers go, they will end up in locations
where street crime exists. It is even more prevalent in
countries where unemployment, poverty, and overpopulation
exist. In some countries, a traveler’s watch can
equal a few months salary. Often criminals specifically
target travelers because they are women, or because they
are carrying expensive equipment. They also know victims will most likely not return
to prosecute if the criminal were captured.
Today it takes more than the old adage "just use your common sense" to avoid falling victim to the criminal element. Criminals today are bolder,
more calculated and widely experienced in committing crimes. They work in teams, one distracts you while the other
steals from you.
