The feeling of dread that washes over you when you realize your water bottle leaked or you dropped your bag and damaged or ruined your laptop isn’t a nice feeling. Laptops are costly investments, from photos, documents, logins, spreadsheets, and a plethora more of data, keeping your laptop safe and in good condition helps you make the most of your investment and helps you avoid a costly replacement. Below are some of the best ways to keep your laptop and its information safe.
Physical:
· Waterproof sleeves help protect against anything that may leak while in your bag.
· Padded cases help if your bag gets dropped.
· When packing, avoid heavy or sharp items pressing against the laptop to avoid screen cracking.
· Use a cable lock while in public spaces to prevent your laptop from being stolen.
· A display protector or privacy screen helps keep scratches away and what's on the screen for your eyes only.
Digital:
· Shut down your laptop completely; don’t just close the lid. When your laptop is just asleep, it still produces heat and could overheat if stuck in your bag.
· A strong password can keep unwanted people from accessing your data.
· When travelling, use a power plug converter to protect against viruses. A USB plug-in can transfer a virus to your computer or phone. Check out our blog on juice jacking here.
· Make backups often and use cloud storage or an external drive.
· Use a VPN and run frequent virus scans.
· If you're worried about your laptop and data being stolen, there are theft recovery software programs that can help you recover data while deleting it off the stolen laptop.
