Laptop Security

[georgenoise]

Besides lojack for laptops is there any product out there, preferabbly white label, that can be installed on a laptop that will allow the user(or MSP) to issue a command to encrypt and/or destroy all the data in case of theft and maybe track it too? Just thought I'd see what is out there. Thanks.

I don't know about the white label part, but preyproject.com is a popular choice.

Laptops should always be FDE.

And on the note of FDE (Full Disk Encryption), I'll toss in my slightly dated notes on consumer SSDs with encryption built-in:

Samsung 840 & 850 drives (EVO and PRO)
Crucial MX100 and MX200, but NOT BX100
Sandisk X300s
Kingston KC300
OCZ ARC 100
OCZ Radeon R7
OCZ Vector 180
PNY CL4111
Intel 520 series (128-bit only? Old model)
Intel 530 series (old)
Intel 535 series
Intel 730 series
NOTE: BIOS Also has to support drive encryption! Or be Win8 and higher.

I have always liked Prey project.

I agree with Prey, pretty hidden easy to use, has a web GUI.
