Last month, Intel introduced Intel® Anti-Theft Technology with support from Lenovo and Absolute Software.
There are various use models that this new technology enables, such as:
- The ability to disable a lost notebook PC and the data on the hard drive even if it never connects to the network (based on IT policy)
- The ability to send a "poison pill" so that the notebook PC is disabled, along with the data on the hard drive, if the notebook PC is connected to the internet
- The ability to re-activate the notebook PC if it is found again
