Absolute, Intel and Lenovo say that they are bringing hardware-based anti-theft and computer theft deterrence technology for notebook computers to businesses. <\/p>\n
Select Lenovo ThinkPad 400 notebooks will be among the first notebooks to ship with support for Intel Anti-Theft PC Protection and Absolute’s Computrace technology built in. The optional services will be available this month.<\/p>\n
Select models of Lenovo ThinkPad T400 notebooks that offer Intel Centrino 2 Processor Technology with Intel vPro Technology will ship Intel Anti-Theft PC Protection "Ready," needing only to be activated by companies’ IT departments. <\/p>\n
Absolute Computrace and Intel Anti-Theft PC Protection working together aim to provide the PC with intelligent mechanisms that detect potential theft situations and respond according to programmed IT policy. <\/p>\n
When field-upgraded to activate Computrace, a theft recovery, data deletion and mobile computer IT asset management solution, customers will be able to extend the benefit they receive from Absolute’s managed security services, through the hardware-based Intel Anti-Theft PC Protection.<\/p>\n
For example, if a ThinkPad T400 notebook has not "checked in" within a specified time, Anti-Theft PC Protection working through Computrace would automatically lock the notebook, rendering it unusable. Additionally, an IT administrator can use Computrace and Intel Anti-Theft PC Protection technology to make a device inoperative when it is lost or stolen. <\/p>\n
The next time that computer "checks in" it will be automatically locked and rendered useless to an unauthorised user. <\/p>\n
Additionally, Intel Anti-Theft PC Protection offers the ability to lock a computer if it experiences more than a prescribed number of password attempts. The IT department can unlock the computer when it is back in the hands of an authorised user.<\/p>\n
