KMVS Case Study: Protecting Sensitive Information
KMVS secures laptops containing important client data with Intel® Anti-Theft Technology
Company
KMVS is a 10-strong legal firm based in Prague in the Czech Republic, representing both local and international clients from the media, IT, communications, pharmaceutical, and retail sectors. Specializing in copyright and intellectual property law, personal data protection, and commercial, employment, and contract law, it offers services in Czech, English, and Spanish.
Challenge
As part of their work, KMVS employees frequently need to transport significant amounts of confidential client information on their laptops when attending court or visiting clients. KMVS recognized the necessity of securing this information to prevent unauthorized access. This need was recently underlined when one of the company’s partners lost a laptop — and with it, the sensitive information it contained.
Solution
KMVS purchased three Lenovo T510 ThinkPad* laptops, powered by the Intel® Core™ i7 vPro™ processor, with Intel® Anti-Theft Technology (Intel® AT). Intel® AT works in conjunction with Absolute Computrace*, the IT management software used by KMVS’s IT service provider, AutoCont, to protect the data stored on computers. If an employee’s laptop is lost or stolen, KMVS can now remotely disable it by sending a "poison pill" through its standard Internet connection or via its integrated 3G receiver, rendering the laptop unusable and ensuring that the information it contains is secure. This can also be triggered if the laptop fails to check in with the central server, or if it registers a high number of failed log-in attempts. If the company later recovers the laptop, it can quickly reactivate it with no damage to hardware or software.
