Obviously in some cases these may be stored important information about the company itself, its business and even sensitive datas about Customers or employees. A good solution could be an encryption system linked to a biometric sensor for the data stored on the hard disk. For the possibility to connect to the corporate network through VPN is concerned, I think it wouldn't be somewhat an hard work to have access in an Active Directory authentication-based environment. Anyway I bet there be a cracking solution even in this case but the goal would be completed only before the disabling of the user-account. In the end I believe the best solution is having no data at all stored locally but just managing virtual-machines (disk-less PC) with all the important information saved on centralized servers.

I totally agree aggree with the risks especially when users are no savvy. Would love to see a write-up on securing remote users and their notebooks.
