Our hard drives are fully encrypted, so even if someone stole it, unless it was still logged in, then they'd get nothing.
Still disruptive. They are getting not only an expensive device, but your device and now you can't work until it is replaced, and if you stored data on the drive, it is gone.

As far as important files, we really don't have anything. Our COE laptops are loaded with all the programs we need. The only important data I keep locally is a few reference documents for the products I support.

That's not a good reason. Why a VPN from a laptop rather than a remote access gateway? What is the value of the VPN? Obviously they see it as a security concern.

I don't make the decisions or get told why things are the way they are. I just have what I have.
