Exact Trak – Destroy data on Lost Drive “Over The Air”

 

 

If you have ExactTrak memory stick, the device can be tracked by GPS if it becomes separated from you – and can even be destroyed by remote control. Amezing, right?

 

Well, just have a look at what Exact Trak offer:

 

The memory stick, called Security Guardian, is slightly larger than your garden variety device and includes an encrypted memory chip and a SIM card, which means that it can be tracked by GPS and GSM triangulation.

ExactTrak’s Security Guardian includes a SIM card, so that the memory stick can be tracked if it becomes separated from its owner

If sensitive information is on board the stick when it is misplaced or stolen, the owner has a variety of ways of disabling or destroying information so that it cannot be viewed or shared.

Owners can sign in to their account and block files and information. Alternatively, they can text a specific code to the stick itself, which will disable the device or lock the files within.

And, if all else fails, users can send a high-voltage charge directly into the stick, melting the internal chip and erasing everything contained on it.
