Advice for healthcare professionals to protect their devices.
Stolen laptops are one of the most common reasons for losing data in the healthcare industry. But you can minimise the damage, if you know what to do in those crucial moments after a laptop is stolen.

- What can you do if the data was not encrypted?
- Can your laptop's location be tracked if it doesn’t have GPS?
