The Key To Laptop Security? Text Messaging.

Lenovo has introduced a technology that allows you to shut down and securely encrypt your computer with a simple text message.

The Constant Secure Remote Disable service pairs up to 10 cellular phones to a ThinkPad that has an active WWAN. As long as both you and the computer have an active cell signal, with a mere "kill command" SMS you can turn your computer off and breath easily knowing the self encrypting hard drive is doing its thing. If anyone has ever come into the office one morning to find their laptop is oddly missing from its usual spot on their desk, replaced only with a busted up lock, they will be able to appreciate this technology. Lenovo teamed up with Phoenix Technologies on this service. It will be a free download on Lenovo's website and will come standard on future ThinkPads. Via pcworld
