In the wake of new reports of serious breaches of mobile devices and data, security professionals share their tips for securing mobile devices and their favorite security solutions.

"Laptops can be encrypted using FileVault, BootLocker, PGP encryption, or other forms of full-disk encryption. This ensures that a thief cannot access the device without knowing the password for it," he says.
