Guest Editorial by Mike McMahon, President, Getac North America With law enforcement and first response data being targeted by bad actors and the growing threat of cyberspace being used as a theater of war, the rugged laptops used in the defense of our nation, which offer access to sensitive information and infrastructure, must offer security features.
Multi-factor authentication is now a zero-trust security standard - mandated by all federal agencies by the end of the 2024 fiscal year by Cybersecurity Executive Order 14028.
When vetting rugged laptops and their vendors, the information you find online regarding a particular model will often target a non-specific global audience and might not mention additional security features specifically required by certain nations, jurisdictions, agencies, or service branches.
Such features might include Secret Internet Protocol Router/Non-Classified Protocol Router capability, compliance with Federal Information Processing Standards, theft protection in the BIOS controls and device setting lockout, optical drive security, Data At Rest security, and additional chip/OS manufacturer security safeguards.
The Getac B360 laptop offers security features already mentioned and more and provides all the durability and stress tolerances of a fully-rugged device, with a lighter, slimmer profile more typical of a semi-rugged model while still delivering a 1,400-nit sunlight-readable screen, dual user-removable PCIe NVMe solid state drives, and ample computing power.
This rugged device is built for law enforcement, first responders, and defense customers who need top-of-the-line security and uncompromised productivity in diverse environments.
His unique perspective on rugged technology spans Enterprise, Public Safety, and Federal markets.

The Getac B360 delivers all the benefits of a fully rugged device, yet it's not larger or heavier than traditional semi-rugged laptops.
With dual user-removable PCIe NVMe SSDs, the B360 enables enhanced data security for industries such as Public Safety, Utilities, and Manufacturing.
