Computrace or LoJack for Laptops can be easily activated by customers when they install a license ranging from 1-3 years.A combination of rugged computing devices, software, accessories and professional services in a purposeful range of specifically tailored solutions. Customers can also remotely delete data to help keep it out of the hands of unauthorized users - a reliable contingency in case data protection solutions fail. If a computer is reported stolen, the Absolute Theft Recovery Team works on behalf of the customer to gather evidence from the computer to identify the thief's location, and then works with local police to get the computer back. Whether a PC or Mac, the software is virtually undetectable and phones home to the Absolute Monitoring Center with location and asset information. When embedded in the firmware of computers from leading computer manufactures, Computrace can survive operating system re-installations, as well as hard-drive reformats, replacements and re-imaging. As a result of the the swift action taken by Absolute and the local police department, the laptop was successfully recovered and returned to its school.Ĭomputrace and LoJack® for Laptops are powered by Absolute Software patented Computrace persistence technology. Absolute was also able to pinpoint the laptop's location. Through analysis, research and direct collaboration with local law enforcement, Absolute was able to use screen captures and keystrokes to identify a young "gamer" as the primary suspect. Without any leads to possible suspects, the district determined it would need further assistance in identifying the thief and turned to Absolute's Theft Recovery Team. To compound the issue, this case proved to be challenging as the pre- and post-theft IP addresses matched, indicating that the laptop was last contacted from its original location. These efforts resulted in a successful recovery for the school district.ĭespite Challenges, Laptop Thief was Identified and Device Successfully ReturnedĪ large school district in New Mexico was recently victim to laptop theft. The school was also able to send a custom message displayed to the the end user. In response to this discovery, Absolute deployed Computrace's Device Freeze feature to "brick" the device and render it unusable until accessed by an authorized administrator. Because the district had Computrace installed on all their laptops, Absolute's Theft Recovery Team was able to take immediate action when the laptop was reported stolen and determined that another student was actively using the device. Proactive Security Leads to Laptop RecoveryĪ student in the Lorain City School District (LCSD) in Ohio was the victim of theft when her assigned laptop went missing. Computrace not only helped to protect sensitive data, but also eliminated the need to replace the devices, which would have been financially taxing." "We always knew the importance of securing our mobile devices though we never truly understood the benefits until we experienced theft firsthand. However, the ability to recover stolen laptops with Absolute Software's assistance can make a huge difference," said Robert Barenie, Special Investigator, Detroit Public Schools Office of Inspector General, Detroit Public Schools, Carleton Elementary School.
