Intel® Anti-Theft System
Intel ® Anti-Theft Technology (the Intel ® AT) can disable the PC if lost or stolen. Technology can be used with or without connection to the Internet or corporate network:
* Deter theft. Remove the temptation to lose or steal a PC that will immediately stop operating.
* Data Guard assets. Protecting data by blocking the laptop OS from loading and / or disable access to encryption keys.
* Adjust the detection / reaction. Controlling how and when the PC will detect stolen and what actions will be taken.
* Restore operation easily. Enabling laptop recovered quickly, without damage to your PC or data.
* Personalized message recovery. Display your personalized recovery messages on your screen to assist in the recovery of the laptop.
How it works?
Intel AT can detect suspicious behavior or receive a remote theft alert using programmable triggers such as the following:
* User-reported theft. If contacted by the laptop owner, a service provider or help desk sends a “poison pill” to disable the laptop.
* Tamper detection. In the event of suspicious activity such as excessive login attempts, the laptop disables itself.
* Failure to check in. If the laptop does not log into the network within a set period of time, it disables itself.
Intel AT can block the OS from loading, even if the hard drive is replaced or reformatted. Intel AT can also be used to disable access to data encryption keys and block access to valuable data on the hard drive, even if the drive is moved to a different system.
