Securing Laptops with ControlUp and other Options

Posted on

A discussion took place about different security options for laptops, specifically a method to prevent bootup in the event of theft. It was mentioned that ControlUp does not have this feature, but there is a user voice open for it. It was also suggested to use MDM or Intune for this purpose, but it was noted that a script will not run if the agent cannot communicate with the device. Some laptops have Absolute software built-in for this purpose. Another possible solution is using BitLocker with TPM+PIN, but it is important to ensure proper policies are in place for it to be effective. URL mentioned: www.absolute.com
