For many people, their laptop is one of their most important investments. It is the device that keeps your most intimate information. Apart from this, your laptop may actually be your source of income. It is also convenient because you can take it around wherever you go, allowing you to work without boundaries. This is the reason why losing your laptop can be quite devastating. It could compromise your security and leave you without some of your most important documents that you have worked with for a long time. We have created this article to propose some easy steps to protect your laptop.

LOCK IT TO YOUR DESK

• Well, locking your laptop to your desk may make you look really uncool, but we can tell you that it works. Thieves do not like things that complicate their lives. This is the reason why they would usually rather walk away from a laptop that is physically secured to a desk than try and steal it. Almost every laptop you will buy has a small slot where you can place a laptop lock. These locks work in the same way your bicycle chain lock works. If the person who wants to steal your laptop wants to keep it working, then they will not risk breaking it apart just to steal it.

USE TRACKING SOFTWARE

• Just like you will do with your phone, you can install tracking software that will be able to tell you where your computer is at a particular time. The good thing about this is that it is not only useful when your laptop has been stolen; it will help you in the event that you have misplaced it. These tracking systems can make use of the locations given by IP addresses or positions of the Wi-Fi. Some will allow you to remotely turn on the webcam and see the person who is using your laptop when they are sitting in front of it.

BACK UP YOUR DATA• It is always important to remember that no matter what solutions you may put in place to

protect your laptop, you could still end up losing it. Losing your laptop should not mean that you have also lost your data. Even if you lose your laptop and eventually find it, you want to still be able to access your data while your laptop is missing. This is the reason why you should certainly consider backing up your data.

• Backing up your data is something that you may not always have the time to physically do. Don't worry; just get Total System Care. This is a software solution designed by SafeBytes not only to scan your system to ensure that everything is working right but to also ensure that your data is constantly backed up just in case you lose your device.  Having your laptop in the wrong hands isn't a good thing at all; however, having it in the wrong hands with your data can be catastrophic.

• There are many other things you can do to protect your laptop such as having insurance. Also, ensuring that you do not store sensitive data like your passwords on the laptop can actually be quite helpful. If you have the laptop in the car, ensure that you are not leaving it in places that could tempt people to break in and steal it.
