Hardware strong
The Apex Series of laptops provide you
with Intel Anti-Theft
Technology provide you with
intelligent security for lost or
stolen laptops.
Because the technology is built into
the hardware, Intel AT provides local
protection that works even if a thief
reimages the OS, changes the boot
order, installs a new hard-drive, or
stays off the Internet.
Theft detection
Intel AT hardware can detect theft in
many ways such as excessive login
attempts, failure to do a regular
check-in with your server, too much
time spent logging in, or through a
theft notification received over the
Internet from your theft service
provider.
Disable your laptop and data
-
Intel AT will react to a theft
condition by disabling the laptop
with a "poison pill" that blocks
the boot process.
-
Intel AT can also disable access
to encrypted data by deleting
essential elements of
cryptographic materials that are
required to access encrypted data
on the hard drive.
Easy system recovery and reactivation
To help recover your laptop you can
customize a message that will be
displayed from your bricked computer.
For example, you could display, "This
laptop has been reported missing.
Please call 1-123-555-1234 to return
the system and receive a reward."
Best of all, your bricked laptop can
be easily returned to full
functionality using:
-
Local pass-phrase, a strong
password pre-provisioned in the
laptop: To reactivate the system,
the user simply enters this
pass-phrase in a special pre-OS
reactivation screen.
-
Reactivation code, generated by
your user’s service provider or IT
department.
