There is also tracking software that you hide on the laptop, which helpslocate it post-theft. Our risk management department gives departmentsa lower deductible if this software is installed. If one is stolen, the next time it connects to the network, the software "phones home."
Computrace is one tracking software that several of our faculty and students have used and continue to purchase http://www.computrace.com/public/products/computraceplus/default.asp Cathy Hubbs Information Technology Security Coordinator Information Technology Unit 4400 University Drive, MS 1A6 Fairfax, Virginia 22030 703.993.4183 703.993.9063 FAX ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Discussion Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/cg/.
