Addressing Notebook Theft 

According to studies by the Ponemon Institute, over 12.000 notebooks per week are stolen from US airports and the average cost of a lost or stolen laptop resulting from replacement expenses, the acknowledgement of a data breach to clients, and lost intellectual property is over $49,000 per notebook. With increasing legislation that mandates disclosure to clients resellers have a tremendous opportunity to differentiate their product by offering solutions that address the fundamental concerns of recovering the product, disabling it so unintended users can’t gain access, encrypting the data so it can’t be read by unauthorized parties, and providing an audit trail to prove the notebook was disabled or recovered. The combination of Intel Anti Theft, available on ASI Spring Peak Notebooks, and other software programs such as Computrace and WinMagic can address these concerns for government, education, financial, health care, utilities, legal, insurance and more.
