According to the director of the endpoint data protection specialist, the story highlights the fact that laptop usage amongst business people has now reached critical mass.
"Thanks to the proliferation of public access WiFi and mobile broadband dongles, laptops used for business are no longer the preserve of road warriors," he said.
"Ordinary business people are now taking their laptops out on the road with them, on the bus, on the train, in the coffee shop and especially taking them home," he added.
According to Glynn, this proliferation of laptops poses a potentially very serious security risk for companies, as they are effectively losing direct control of their data.
You can, he explained, now buy a mobile broadband dongle for a few tens of dollars.
And when you factor in the widespread usage of public access WiFi, he said, the security risks of company data leaking out become all too apparent.
The solution to this security problem, he went on to say, is to introduce encryption and authentication technology to the use of laptops and company data.
"That way, the valuable data stored locally on the laptops is secured, and can only be accessed by the accredited laptop user," he said.
