How To Protect Information On Your Laptop From Identity Thieves

How can I protect information on my laptop from identity thieves?

There are numerous smaller companies out there that are offering password protected software and folders or encryption that allows you to store proprietary data in that folder. So that in the event that your laptop is lost or stolen, anybody that tries to access it would have to break that code. Often this type of encryption or code is very difficult to get into, so I would always consider investing in some type of a third-party software that allows you to encrypt your information in a password-protected folder.
