This is a common problem with no single solution. No matter what you do, the
mobile user is going to be a high risk entity. Education of the user of
their ability to cause harm to their own data and the company network is a
great start. They need to be aware that their actions can cause catastrophic
results.
After education, the following are the most important:
-Install Personal Firewall and AV on all laptops and make sure you educate
the users on the function of the software.
-Lock down the configuration so it cant be disabled by the user
-Enable aggressive live updates (daily) and scans (daily)
-Patching Automation - Before your user leaves the network, their laptops
should be patched with the more recent OS updates.
-Its best of your laptop users can connect to a "sandbox" network on return
to the office or if you can separate all physical connection that belong to
mobile users on a sandbox VLAN. This can be difficult to manage depending on
your current network design.
