Intel® Anti-Theft Technology Protection Advantages
Technology Brief: 2nd Generation Intel® Core™ Processor Family Intel® Anti-Theft (Intel® AT) Technology
Encryption protects data against viewing by intruders and thieves, but sometimes companies need a deeper level of protection. Intel® Anti-Theft Technology (Intel® AT) provides smart, hardware-based data protection and triggers a lockdown state—automatically or by remote instruction—to disable a laptop on command.
Think of data encryption as a key to the front door of your home. If the key is kept secure, thieves are kept out. But, if you leave the key under the mat, the private contents of the home are available to any thief who knows where the key is hidden. Having Intel AT embedded in the hardware of a laptop is like having a vigilant security guard watching the front door and frequently checking with a central command to guard against intruder entry. If suspicious activity is detected or a thief finds the key, an additional lock can be activated to reinforce the existing security.
Embedded in the silicon of laptops powered by the 2nd generation Intel® Core™ processor family, Intel AT protects assets and data in these ways:
• Lockdown. Provides a way to lock down lost or stolen laptops, locally or remotely, rendering the laptop and hard drive data useless unless a reactivation code is provided.
• Tamper detection and protection. Detects component tampering, such as hard disk removal, and logon failures, automatically disabling the laptop to prevent access.
