I agree that organizations need to start using encryption on laptops when customer's data is kept on them. It is rediculous to assume that just because the laptop is with someone, the data is safe. Stuff gets stolen!

The real and associated costs of data breaches are staggering: In 2006, corporations that experienced a data breach spent an average of $5 million trying to recover data. Customer relationships suffer, too; among consumers that discovered their data had been lost, 20 percent terminated their relationships with the company, another 40 percent considered terminating their relationships, and 5 percent considered legal action.
