Gartner's surveys indicate that 10 to 15 percent of laptop thefts are committed to obtain confidential data. According to META Group, a typical large company suffers between $1 million to $3 million in laptop losses each year because of theft. In August 2002, five agencies under the US Department of Justice (DOJ) reported 400 missing laptop computers, and it's possible that the missing laptops processed and stored national security or sensitive law-enforcement data.
Caveo Technology's Caveo Anti-Theft and Targus DEFCON MDP Anti-Theft PC Cards offer unique functionality to protect against laptop data theft. The PC Cards provide robust security by detecting motion, analyzing the motion to determine whether a threat exists, and implementing a response. The PC Cards are independent of the computer OS and operate whether the laptop is on or off. When a system armed with a Caveo PC Card is carried beyond a perimeter specified by the user, the PC Card assumes theft and provides a strong response, including preventing access to the OS, securing passwords and encryption keys, and sounding an optional audible alarm. If you recover the stolen computer, you need a robust master code to regain access to the laptop and data.
W. David Lee, CEO of Caveo Technology, says "Laptop theft continues to be a serious security threat. We're seeing enormous interest in Caveo Anti-Theft because it's the only product that deters theft and ensures that confidential information is protected." Pricing is $99.
