Reference For Protecting Portable Data

Just a few days ago CSO Online provided a pretty nice resource, and timely considering all the continuing laptop and mobile storage media losses. 

Their "Portable Data Protection Options" provides a nice start for organizations to start planning on protecting their mobile computing devices and storage media, or to quickly see if their current program is not addressing something.  Their list of potential vendors for the product categories listed are very limited...there are many other good vendor solutions available...but it is a place to start. 

I've written on this quite a bit.  For one of my recent papers discussing the issues involved, see "Managing Mobile Computing Risks."
