Days numbered for UK laptop thieves
by Anonymous
York, UK July 24, 2004 -- The bold move will see zTrace's asset and data protection software installed in millions of laptops across the UK, including Police Departments, universities, and public institutions such as MI5; literally thwarting the amount of missing laptops realised by white-collar thieves and unscrupulous competitors.
"zTrace's technology not only protects all the sensitive data contained in the laptop, but it also tracks down the thief; having a direct impact on future thefts and acting as a deterrent to future would-be-thieves" commented Colin Gibbons, Managing Director for First Shield. "This represents a clear solution to the growing laptop theft problem that is costing in excess of £1 Billion annually to UK businesses and individuals".
"The cost of each laptop's theft spirals upwards to £11,500* when things like loss of employee productivity, theft of confidential business information, lost revenue, lost data, procurement of new hardware and replacement of critical data are taken into consideration; and, whilst without zTrace, statically you only have a 2% chance of recovering your laptop and data; with zTrace installed, your data and asset recovery are guaranteed within 30 days" Mr Gibbons added.
In direct contrast to the struggling IT industry, companies like zTrace are expanding rapidly by the use of compelling product offerings like these.
zTrace's President, Alex Kesler will be in the UK and available for telephone and personal interviews from the 29th of July to the 3rd of August 2004.
zTrace Technologies is the leading laptop and mobile security solutions provider to the private, public and corporate sectors. zTrace's advancements have been well documented in Time Magazine, Information Week, USA Today, ABC News, Inc. Magazine, RED HERRING and many others.
First Shield is an IT solutions company with a powerful combination of skills and resources that provides a platform for delivering strong growth in today's rapidly changing security environment.
