By some estimates, as many as 90 percent of businesses have had at least one laptop stolen in the past year. And not even the most security-conscious organizations are immune. In a February 2007 audit, the U.S. Department of Justice reported that 44 laptops were stolen from the Federal Bureau of Investigation over the past 4 years, up nearly 40 percent from an audit in 2002.

The most obvious costs of laptop theft--hardware replacement and data recovery--can prove almost insignificant in comparison to the security breach that theft may cause.
