Surefind's Security Solution
Often the data on a business notebook is worth more than the machine itself, so it may be wise to have a contingency plan if/when a PC falls into the wrong hands. When a laptop running SureFind is stolen, the security software soon kicks into action. It can track the machine's IP address online, and can also remotely delete any confidential information.
AbbieHoffman might have thought he was cool daring people to steal hisbook, but no one in their right mind would go all Abbie Hoffmanwith their notebook. Laptops contain our life-our pictures,music, e-mails, poems, stories, homework, not to mention companysecrets, personal passwords and bank codes, and customerinformation.
That's whycompanies like Finally Software are dedicated to crafting productslike SureFind, whose only job is to track down your stolen orlost notebook-and then erase all data on that laptop so no one elsecan get at it. It doesn't matter if the operating system has beenchanged on it, or where in the world Carmen Sandiego-or whoeverelse stole your notebook-is.
Once your precious portable pal goes missing, the SureFind laptopsecurity software on your computer works secretly to get back intouch with your network. Once it does, it can report where themissing laptop is (in terms of a trackable IP address) and howthe laptop is doing. The software can then create a log ofeverything hideous that has been done to the laptop, includingbreaks-in on your confidential data. The log also can assure ofthe opposite-that no data has been compromised.
In either case, you can then command the SureFind software tocarry out a DataDeletion Process-to deal with your data with maximum prejudice.For good measure, the SureFind will also send along a log asproof that your data was deleted. Then just say the word, andSureFind can freeze up that missing laptop for good.
This might seem like overkill for the photos on your personalcomputer-but really the SureFind is more for businesses that arescared, with good reason, by the rash of missing laptops thathave struck many business and government agencies lately-and theresulting bad press, government investigations, and customerlawsuits. According to Finally Software, 80 percent of allbusinesses have experienced data loss through lostlaptops.
