  Actually it is next to useless in my view. Any laptop should have the
drive encrypted and not come up without the passphrase. In this setting
adeona or anything similar is not very useful.

  Most large businesses require any laptop use disk encryption - start
with that and see what else you can do to enhance security beyond that.
