15 Absolute Data & Device Security

Absolute provides a single cloud-based console (http://cc.absolute.com) for administrators and users who want to

persistently track and secure all of their endpoints. Computers can be remotely managed and secured to ensure - and most

importantly prove - that endpoint IT compliance processes are properly implemented and enforced.

With select Absolute products you can:

 Locate a missing PC

 Remotely delete data

 Remotely lock a PC

 Recover a stolen PC

Computrace provides foundational support for all activities related to Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (GRC)

for the endpoint. By maintaining a persistent connection to each device, organizations can take advantage of or oversee:

 Data Security & Protection

 Deployment & Licensing Audits

 BYOD policy enforcement

 Theft Recovery

 Theft and criminal investigations

 Endpoint forensics

 Security incident response & remediation

 Compliance reports & certificates

 Asset Administration

 Geotechnology (Geolocation/Geofencing)

Since most HP devices have a BIOS Absolute Persistence module, the service will continue to function once activated even if

the software is uninstalled or the hard drive is reimaged. The Computrace Agent is backwards compatible and provides

support back as far as Windows NT.

Absolute has recovered more than 30,000 devices in more than 100 countries.
