New research by the Ponemon Institute for Dell, reveals that almost 4,000 Laptops are lost or go missing in Europe's major airports every week. The research says hundreds of thousands of the 63 million laptops purchased by organisations this year2, will be lost, go missing or left unattended at airports, and 57 percent of those lost that end up in lost and found departments will go unclaimed. Nearly half of those professionals surveyed also keep confidential information on their laptops, with over half taking no steps to protect that data in the event of a loss or theft.
