Should I Get Tracking or Lock Out Software for My Laptop?
Earlier we took a look at why you might want to get lockout software for your laptop. Today we are going to look at which type of software you will want to get.
Tracking software allows you to get a message with the current location of your system when it is breached. Usually either at a regular interval or triggered by an event. Lockout software protects your data, with encryption are in some cases deletes it after a certain number of failed attempts.
The one that is right for you depends on your goal. If retrieval is your only priority the location software will be fine. If your data (like a banking logon or access to your companies VPN) then data deletion may be your best option.
It can be painful, but not as painful as what the wrong person could do with access to that data.
