Though it's rare, a device can go completely dark with no internet connection or activity. When it does, your organization will still need to prove some measure of control over the device, especially if it contains sensitive data. Device freeze policies in Absolute Data & Device Security (DDS) allow you to secure your devices – and the important information they contain – regardless of internet access, user, or location.
A Device Freeze Policy, set in Absolute DDS, can specify a maximum offline period, which if passed would trigger a series of events such as freezing the device and changing its passcode. So, how do you know when to use Device Freeze?
Device Freeze Policies allow you to remotely control the endpoint so you can enforce best practices, manage inventory, and protect endpoint data. Your device freeze policy will work, regardless of internet connection, user or location. For more about Absolute DDS, visit our website or read our datasheet.
