The Food and Drug Administration recently investigated manufacturers of endoscopes, a device most doctors call “a key tool in detecting and treating medical problems,” according to The Washington Post.

Governance programs are the unsung heroes of 21st-century business operations. Their situation is analogous to that of football’s offensive line.

If an offensive line does its job, no one will notice it, but when something goes wrong, the spotlight shifts.

These days, who doesn’t travel with their laptop? But commonality doesn’t make it inherently safe for your sensitive information that’s stored in the device. In fact, traveling with your laptop is inherently unsecure.

Whether you’re traveling for business or to visit family this holiday season, here are some ways to protect your laptop and your personal data:
