Have her connect to a VPN that is available to her.  If her company doesn't
have one available, there are many easy to implement solutions for setting
up a PPTP VPN.  Then, she can connect to an insecure Wireless AP but, all of

I have a friend who is interested in better securing her laptop while

ideals or thoughts that I could pass onto her other than that.
