New Delhi: Unistal Systems, a provider of data care, data recovery, anti-virus and Internet security products, services and training has launched a new security software product for laptops called Protegent 360. Powered by two of Unistal's indigenous products – Locate Laptop and Port Locker –, the software comes with Internet Security 2009 from BitDefender, a security solution firm. According to Alok Gupta, Director, Unistal Systems, "Laptop thefts and loss, information and file leakage, data loss and disruption owing to lack of Internet security are on an incessant rise. Despite all this, there was no fool-proof, comprehensive and integrated security cum theft protection product for laptops in sight. There for, we bundled our indigenous products with that from BitDefender. There is an immense potential to be tapped. We intend filling this large void and making Protegent 360 the de facto standard when it comes to security, theft protection & data leakage for laptops." Locate Laptop, one of the three software product elements in Protegent 360 not only tracks and recovers stolen computers – it deters theft. It keeps track of the whereabouts of each employee while traveling and the moment he logs in via the web, a report is generated with his complete details and is sent to a designated individual within the organization. In an event of theft or loss, the user needs to report to Unistal's emergency response team or login to their Personal Tracking and Monitoring Page and submit the theft/loss. This activates Locate Laptop's proprietary WebSniff technology and alerts as soon as the offender connects to the Internet. The city and IP address are informed to the user. It keeps tracking all the locations whenever the offender connects to the Internet. With the help of local law enforcement authorities users can retrieve their laptop.
