Which of the following measures would be the BEST deterrent to the theft of corporate information
from a laptop which was left in a hotel room?
A.
Store all data on disks and lock them in an in-room safe
B.
Remove the batteries and power supply from the laptop and store them separately from the
computer
C.
Install a cable lock on the laptop when it is unattended
D.
Encrypt the data on the hard drive
Correct answer is C.
Seeing a cable lock is a deterrent and a preventative control.
Encryping data is only a preventative control. It has nothing to do with deterring. You won’t even know the hard drive is encrypting when trying to steal it…
