How to keep company data secure, first if your company is able to provide you with a loaner laptop that would be best. By packing a “clean” laptop one without company files and data stored. A user will authenticate onto the computer and VPN into the network allowing them access to all company files. By doing so the computer does not store company data directly onto the hard drive.
If unable to provide a loaner laptop, the next best thing is to encrypt the hard drive. By encrypting a laptops hard drive, it can require two factor authentication, having multi factor authentication as a requirement.
