Ok, so now that they've defeated hard drive encryption what do people recommend for companies that have employees carrying around sensitive information on their laptops?

And, yes, I do realize that "don't do it" is an option...

This story is pretty crazy. It will be interesting to see how the security industry responds.

My advise? Tell employees to be careful with their computers and keep an eye on them. Maybe locked briefcases are the next step.

I lockable hard case that can fit around your laptop and in your computer bag that requires biometrics would be a temporary solution until the security companies figured out what to do. Just a thought though.
