This week Everdream, a desktop management company, will launch the Theft Recovery Managed Service.
While the service may be too late for the 200,000 Fidelity financial services customers who's retirement information was lost along with the laptop that held it last month, it will help insure that such future carelessness is not as catastrophic.
An agent residing in each notebook will alert the Everdream Control Center when an unauthorized user tries to connect to the Internet.
The act of connecting triggers the launch of an application that will either encrypt or delete data on the computer.
As part of the service Everdream also offers an Online Backup service that saves selected data to its data center.
