As organisations become more reliant on mobile technology and its ability to provide anytime access to confidential data, they need to be mindful of how this trend can place this data at risk, especially as laptops are more likely to be stolen or lost that than Desktop PCs.
It is estimated that “80 per cent of information theft results from lost or stolen equipment. In addition, 50 per cent of network intrusions take place using credentials from lost or stolen equipment too.”*
To help minimise these risks, Egton can provide our customers with laptops that are fully integrated with secure encryption software. This service is also available to customers who have already purchased their laptops from third parties (subject to specification).
Industry leading encryption software
Working in partnership with Pointsec, the providers of industry leading encryption software for mobile data protection, Egton’s solution ensures user credentials and confidential data remain private, enabling healthcare organisations to embrace today’s mobile technology, without compromising security.
Pricing information
Secure encryption is available from as little as £288+VAT for a three year period. Included in this price is telephone support, installation of software and delivery.
