The latest two laptop data loss incidents in the educational sector - details of which were revealed by the Information Commissioner's Office on October 5 - are slightly different from the usual data loss censures by the regulator, says SecurEnvoy.
But, the tokenless two-factor authentication specialist says, both incidents occurred in educational organisations where staff really should have known better when it comes to encrypting personal data. Yet, despite this - and the fact that one of the laptops actually had encryption software installed on it - the breaches still happened.
