Remote Disable Technology for Lenovo Laptops to lockdown the system via SMS
Lenovo and Phoenix Technologies together adds a layer to the security there by avoiding the data theft. Constant Secure Remote Disable feature has been announced by them which allows users to send a simple text message which will restrict unauthorized access to their laptop, especially when the notebook is stolen.
This uses WWAN networks to execute the lock down. The ThinkPad notebooks equipped with this feature will be sold from Q1 2009. The users simply needs to create and send a text message with the keywords “lockdown now PC” or “PC shut off.” to activate disable feature. The laptop becomes lockown as and when the laptop’s onboard mobile broadband service receives the message. Soon after the Remote Disable technology-enabled lock is successfully applied confirmatory message is sent back to the user .
