Intel is pondering over introducing an anti-theft technology for its laptops. If your laptop is stolen, with this technology, you can be rest assured that your confidential and valuable data will not be stolen.
The Anti-theft technology on the laptops will lock up the system and the hard disk, thus keeping the valuable data and personal information secured from falling into wrong hands. This new technology will be added on Active Management Technology which is a part of the Centrino vPro. This technology is being developed due to the high rise in laptops being stolen, leading to high risk of data theft.
Dadi Perlmutter, executive vice president and general manager of Intel’s mobility group said, “The technology focuses on asset recovery, theft management and data protection and will arrive in laptops by year’s end.”
At present it’s unclear as to how exactly will the technology lock the data, for which we will have to wait till the fourth quarter of this year. Even other companies like Lenovo Group, McAfee, Fujitsu Siemens Computers and Phoenix Technologies are working hard to get the anti-theft technology on to their mobile computers.
