Laptop Tracker

Snapguard 2.0 Laptop Tracker is arguably the most effective laptop protection software in the industry. It protects organizations from financial and operational losses due to laptop theft by making the contents on a stolen (or lost) laptop accessible to the laptop owner, but not to the thief. Snapguard 2.0 Laptop Tracker allows you to identify, track, and control who accesses data on a missing laptop, what data is accessed, and what can and cannot be done with that data. Snapguard 2.0 Laptop Tracker’s single agent can be installed either at the time of laptop purchase or anytime thereafter. It deploys and operates invisibly

When a laptop is lost or stolen, the Snapguard 2.0 Laptop Tracker agent can be activated instantaneously by the rightful owner using any web browser. The contents on the missing laptop can now be visualized and managed remotely in real-time, on that web browser, without alerting the thief. This allows the owner to retrieve any and all files from the laptop, where they can be stored centrally or downloaded to another computer. Files, or the entire hard drive, can also be deleted. The data is deleted to the U.S. government’s 5220.22-M standard featuring multiple overwrites, random characters, and write verification. Snapguard 2.0 Laptop Tracker sends back a credible confirmation that the files were deleted successfully

Snapguard 2.0 Laptop Tracker also provides real-time geo-location based on wi-fi hotspot tracking, which gives a higher degree of accuracy than GPS in most urban and suburban locations. This evidence assists law enforcement in the recovery of a lost or stolen laptop, and is a far superior recovery method than simply trying to track by a computer’s IP address, which is fraught with problems. Because the IP address’ physical location can only be known by the ISP, it can take weeks or months in some cases to locate an address by this method. By that time, the computer is often in a totally different location.

Recent research shows the majority of lost or stolen laptops contain confidential company communications and that laptop theft is now judged by CTOs to be the highest risk area for the loss of valuable company data. There are many partial solutions, including hard disk encryption (a feature soon to be added to the Snapguard 2.0 platform) on laptops, however the only solution that can restore lost data to its rightful owner is Snapguard 2.0 Laptop Tracker
