It’s true that today is the big official release of MyLaptopGPS Encryption. This is a big deal.

But I’d be remiss not to issue a tip that puts my money where my mouth is. Or, that is, why not follow my own advice?

Laptop tracking, remote data destruction, covert data recovery, and a 99.6% security success rate are all excellent security layers. We’ve always said so, and have always used them. But now, it’s time to up the ante in a big way by bundling on-disk strong encryption–another extremely important layer we’ve always highly recommended.

A thief who has your laptop should have no access to your data, ever. Good on-disk encryption such as MyLaptopGPS Encryption guarantees that, and then, as always, the other layers back it up. Remember, there’s no silver bullet in the security world.

Another nice thing about a bundle of highly effective layers such as these is that additional features can surface as a result. For example, with MyLaptopGPS Remote Decryption Kill, even a thief who has your encryption key (you didn’t write it on a post-it note in your laptop bag, did you?) cannot decrypt your data.

A solid laptop data security strategy always relies on many layers. Encryption must be a primary one.
