This is very clever, but I wonder, unless you control employees laptops one way or another, it seems like employee laptops would only be marginally better than unknown, external hosts in terms of malware. What's your experience on this, or how do you guarantee that employee laptops are clean?
1. I have beaten them into submission. 2. It's not the employee's laptop, it's the company's laptop, so the employees are told what they can do and cannot do. They don't really want to loose their job because they have crashed the network or deleted the corporate word documents... 3. I regularly oversee all the laptops, just like the desktops. 4. If there are problem people, it's not my problem, it's a management problem. Management does not want to loose all the data or the network.
