Lost or Stolen Laptop

DavidPcola

Currently running Safeguard Enterprise 7 with whole disk encryption on all of our laptops and running through potential scenarios of users losing their laptops.  What steps, if any, can be done through Safeguard Management Center to mitigate risk on a lost/stolen laptop where the user has made their POA login known or readily accessible?  (for instance, if they left their credentials accessible on a sticky note or something similarly ridiculous) 

I realize remote wipe isn't an option; but with a public facing SGN site for client synchronization, are there any creative policies that can effectively render the laptop unusable once a logged-in, stolen laptop syncronizes with the SGN server?

    I submitted a support request for this same question.  Slightly different but the same.  I want to know the best practices for a lost or stolen laptop.  What should I do within the console to "disable" or "lock" the computer?  I realize probably the best case would be to disable the user account and computer account in AD would be the best approach but adding another layer of disabling in the Sophos console would seem to be a good option as well.

    Please advise.
