Unfortunately there has been a significant increase in laptop theft and data misuse in recent years. Thousands of people are losing their confidential information every day. Despite the fact that laptop users are employing theft detection and data security software on their computers, laptops are still targeted the most. This may be due to the fact that many of the offenders already know a way to hack such security software and how to breach the security parameters.

So, what to do? The best option for saving data is to leave it outside the laptop. Users who use Citrix GoToMyPC need not carry their data along with them. However, GoToMyPC is not actually a physical protection device like the Pretec i-Disk Secure USB disk. Instead the Citrix programme is a piece of software. With it users can easily access their files, execute programmes, work on applications from any location using the web browser and save everything again on a remote hard disk. With such flexibility offered by the GoToMyPC, mobile computer can safeguard their entire data collection completely against theft.

According to Bernardo de Albergaria, vice president and general manager of global marketing and eCommerce for Citrix Online, “With GoToMyPC, business travelers have options. They can either travel with a blank laptop and connect to their files back at the office or simply leave the laptop behind and access their information when they get to their destination from any Internet-connected computer. With GoToMyPC, they don’t have to worry. The data is safe back at the office, and they can reach it anytime from anywhere. They’ll never lose it, even if they lose their computer.”
