Laptop security
As you may be aware we recently started to promote a range of laptop security products which, while inexpensive, are very effective should you have your laptop stolen or you loose it. While the situation may be a little far fetched it is not as impossible as it may seem. For example most people think of laptop theft as being taken while you are out and carrying it with you but that is not the only time this can happen. For example the recent trend is “walk in” thefts from houses. This tends to happen each summer and what will typically happen is that the thief will wait for you to arrive home and simply “follow” you in and take your goods. In this type of crime typical takings are car keys (car), work bag including laptop, handbags and basically anything near the door.
As a result of this we decided that a product was needed to help ensure that should the worst happen and your laptop is started back up then your data is deleted from the drive and, where possible, the location is traced so the police can recover it. We decided on Laptop Cop which met all of the criteria that we set out plus much more. For those of you out there who love the “cool” stuff then you will love some of the features that Laptop Cop has. For example once your laptop is stolen or lost then you log on to a web portal and put the unit in “Stolen” mode. In this state you will be asked what you want to do about your data, either recover then delete or delete only. At all times, even when not in stolen mode, the Laptop is on and connected to the Internet the location is being broadcast back to the portal so that you know where it is. What also happens when in stolen mode is the tables are turned on the thief and everything that they do is recorded, all keystrokes are recorded and if there is a webcam built in to the laptop then this is used to capture evidence about the thief.
When you combine this is our encryption & backup solutions you the perfect solutions to mobile computer security. If you want to know more about our laptop security solutions or require a demonstration then contact our sales team for more information.
