My company laptop timeout is set by the company I.T. folk and users cannot change the setting. It times out in 14 min. If the lid is closed it forces the user to hit Ctrl Alt Del and enter the password. If the laptop times out because the user stepped away, then the user has to press Ctrl Alt Del and enter the password again. If the system reboots or is off and turned on, then another layer of security has to be dealt with first before getting to the Windows logon. To access the company network from offsite, there is another security layer in addition to the two I mentioned above. Three logons to get to the company network from a home office. Two layers if in the office.
