It's the confidential data aspect I was most interested in hearing about. The VPN stuff, etc. is common sense and something we should all be using anyway.
I know in the past (not all that long ago) it seemed like a regular occurrence to hear about government or healthcare workers downloading files onto a laptop to take home to work on and then either losing the computer or having it stolen. More often than not those files contained a lot of confidential data which resulted in a lot of stress for people as their identities could have easily been stolen. Hopefully they've found a way to prevent people from downloading such files onto unsecured computers.
