s may allow users to choose whether to enable Intel AT-based GPS beaconing for stolen laptops to help with asset recovery.
IT administrators can now respond rapidly and remotely to suspicious circumstances by communicating with Intel AT over a 3G-based network, regardless of the state of the OS.
Enhance higher-level security solutions
Working together, OS-based applications, BIOS-level solutions, and intelligent hardware design can greatly increase the overall security of a mobile device. The combination can also create opportunities for creative data-protection solutions (Table 1).
Improve security and compliance, reduce corporate risk and lower costs
Businesses are under increasing social and regulatory pressure to comply with data-security regulations. In today’s economy, they are also under increasing financial pressure to centralise and automate security and minimise post-incident costs. To address typical vulnerabilities in security solutions, IT administrators must take a layered approach. This means integrating robust OS- and BIOS-based security solutions with automated, intelligent policy-based technologies built into the laptop’s hardware.
Such an approach provides IT with both high-level and low-level data protection, as well as local and remote protection of expensive assets and sensitive data. With greater overall protection, businesses can improve compliance, minimise the risk of a data breach, and lower post-incident costs.
