Computrace

Computrace is a software application made by Absolute Software that is hidden on a computer's hard drive. If a notebook is stolen, and Computrace is installed, the notebook is reported stolen by the customer and the system is flagged by Absolute.

zTrace

zTrace is an undetectable and unerasable software security application that traces the location of missing laptops for recovery. Every time the laptop connects to the Internet, it checks-in with the zTrace Technologies' monitoring and tracking system. In the event of theft, the owner notifies the zTrace Monitoring Center. The zServer tracking system is activated and waits for the next connection of that laptop to the Internet. When the missing computer connects to the Internet, the computer reports its location. The zTrace Recovery Team coordinates with local law enforcement agencies around in issuing warrants and recovering the laptop.

zTrace works with any type of Internet connection, including dial-up, cable modem, DSL, T1 and wireless. It recognizes and traces through both internal and external networks to pinpoint exact physical location of the missing laptop. zTrace supports intelligent telephone dialing capabilities to trace the location through any public or private phone system, including dial-out prefixes, international calls, and can even capture blocked or unlisted calls through caller ID.

XTool Computer Tracker

XTool Computer Tracker is a signature software based transmitter that, once installed, secretly sends a signal to the Stealth Signal Control Center via telephone or Internet connection, allowing our Stealth Signal's Recovery Team to track its location when reported lost or stolen. The signal includes the caller ID (if calling from an analogue line, ADSL does not support caller ID) and the IP address. Stealth Signal works with phone companies and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, UK and the USA, to identify who the phone line is registered to or the person using the IP address at the time, and so to locate and recover the lost or stolen computer.

XTool Computer Tracker can also delete files remotely when a laptop is stolen, protecting the data it contains. Once you have instructed that a certain file be deleted, the next time that computer sends a signal to our Control Center, it will receive the deletion instruction. Stealth Signal provides the service of Remote Delete at the customer's request only.

Stop Tags

Caveo

Caveo Anti-Theft PC Cards operate by detecting motion, analyzing it to determine whether a threat exists, and implementing responses. They are independent of the computer operating system and operate whether the laptop is on or off. If an armed system is carried beyond a perimeter specified by the user, Caveo Anti-Theft assume theft and invoke strong responses, including:

1. Prohibiting access to the operating system,
2. Automatically encrypts data, securing the hard drive(s), and
3. Sounding an audible alarm (optional).

SecuriKey

SecuriKey is a small USB token that, when inserted into your computer's USB port, acts like a key that allows you to access your computer. And just like your car, no key -- no go. Even if someone steals your laptop and guesses your password, they will not be able to get to your files without your SecuriKey token.

The SecuriKey System provides "two-factor authentication". This is the same level of security that makes your ATM card secure. The two factors are: "something you know" and "something you have". In the case of your ATM card, the "something you have" is the plastic card and the "something you know" is your PIN. And now for your computer system, the "something you know" is your Windows password and the "something you have" is your SecuriKey USB token.

Authenex

The Authenex A-Key is a house-key sized token that inserts into the USB port of a computer. A user only needs to type in their password to use strong two-factor authentication. The Challenge/Response technology of the A-Key will provide the correct response to a challenge from our ASAS server to authenticate the user. The A-Key can also use its CCID compatibility to authenticate. Plus, the secure flash memory area of the A-Key can store digital certificates that can automatically be used to authenticate within a PKI solution. If a USB port is not available, the A-Key's OTP function can be used by pressing a button to generate an event based 6-digit password. That password can be used in concert with the user's A-Key password to authenticate.
