Re: how control movment of laptops in the bank

Hi,

I believe that some disk encryption software (e.g. Pointsec) includes a
"phone home" feature. If it is stolen, and later connected to a network,
this can help you trace it. You'd still be reliant on the user reporting
the device as stolen though to initiate the process.
