How would these Administrators enforce this? What keeps a user from walking
into the premise, and just plugging into the LAN?
Just curious.

What I have seen some do is run the laptops through a "screening
station" before allowing them back on the net - there is software
available that will allow you to boot into an a/v solution that will
scan the hard drive & detect/repair any viruses...
As stated earlier, education goes a long way in preventing viruses - but
having a backup plan never hurts!

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.

Hi all, I have a question about portable computer security concern.
My company have firewall protection, all desktop are behind firewall.
However, My saleman need to do their business with a Laptop. When
they're in office. They will connect their laptop to our internet.
