Virginia VA Bars Home Use of Its Laptops

The Virginia Department of Veterans Services has ordered its employees to stop taking home laptop computers containing veterans’ information. The department’s new system will send veterans personal information directly to a secure central database rather than store it on the departments laptops. The agency plans to have a more secure computer system in operation by the fall. Former service members in Virginia were heartened by the news, and Burgess also stated that for less than $100,000, the agency will be able to have the system in use by the end of the year.”]
