Introducing Guard Rails from Thomas Guard

Just as guard rails keep outer influences from entering the path of travel, Thomas Guard’s newest innovation provides impressive protection on your business technology should it fall in the wrong hands.

We proudly introduce Guard Rails from Thomas Guard!

In the event that your business technology is stolen or lost, Thomas Guard now attempts to locate your device and restrict access to the files and programs stored on it.

For example, if your laptop cannot be found and you believe it may have been stolen, call Thomas Group immediately. The team launches Guard Rails, which will perform a traceroute command to get the ISP information. This will allow the team to best locate where your laptop geographically is.

Next, Thomas Group will launch Thomas Guard in Stealth Mode. This mode removes the tray icon and ability to add or remove programs while also making all Thomas Guard application folders virtually invisible. This allows Thomas Guard to continue functioning in the background as usual without the thief aware of its presence.

These events happen more frequently than you may hope. According to the FBI, a laptop is stolen every 53 seconds. Kensington research states that 10% of all laptops will be stolen, with frequent hotspots being in offices, public transport, airports, restaurants and hotels.

The tragedies don’t stop there. Thieves steal content and upload it to the dark web to make some extra cash before bringing laptops to pawn shops. IT professionals report that 56% of computer burglaries result in data breaches.

With Guard Rails technology from Thomas Guard, your business technology maintains the highest level of protection even if your devices don’t. For more information on Guard Rails and other Thomas Guard offerings, call us today.
