Toshiba EasyGuard

For your eyes only

With Toshiba EasyGuard Security, you don't have to worry if your laptop falls into the wrong hands - or if you forget passwords.

One swipe of your finger across the biometrics scanner is all it takes. Your laptop's SmartCard Reader will help stop the wrong people accessing your computer too.

These and many more Security features can be found on the Toshiba Tecra, Portégé and Satellite Pro models, built to the highest standards of quality.

Fingerprint Reader

Advanced Instant Security

When you're working on the go, the security of your laptop is a No.1 concern. For your peace of mind, we've integrated an advanced alarm system within our tablet PC range.

Like a car alarm for your laptop, this user-configurable feature works by monitoring the tilt angle, acceleration, shock, vibration and movement of your laptop - triggering the alarm if someone tries to take it.

Handwriting Signature log-on

Because a handwritten signature is unique and virtually impossible to duplicate, we've incorporated it into Toshiba EasyGuard.

With our Handwriting Signature Log-On, if somebody tries to gain entry to your system - access will be denied - keeping data safe.

Toshiba Device Access Control

If somebody tries to access your laptop without permission, this on-request software utility will help stop them.

By enabling you to lock specific devices and ports it prevents unauthorised access and the copying of confidential files.

Execute Disable BIT (XD-BIT)

If you're unfortunate enough to receive a virus or worm, you don't need to worry.

With this proactive feature, viruses and worms* are disabled before they can damage your laptop's operating system (OS).

*This does not apply for all viruses and all worms.

Wireless Log-on via Bluetooth® Mobile Phone

For secure and convenient access, you can automatically log-on via your Bluetooth® mobile phone.

If your phone moves out of range of the laptop, the screen automatically locks. You can even choose Bluetooth® to authenticate log-on to Windows.

Advanced Encryption

TPM and BitLocker™ security solutions safeguard sensitive data using encryption and digital signature technology to ensure content integrity and privacy.

Fingerprint Reader-Single Sign On

If your laptop is lost or stolen you don't need to worry about the security of your data - with our fingerprint reader, nobody but you can access the system.

One swipe of your finger across the biometrics scanner is all it takes - giving you fast and convenient authentication for all system passwords (BIOS, HDD and Windows).

You can even use the scanner to access specific files or websites - doing away with the need to remember a multitude of different passwords.

Smartcard Reader

Provides enhanced security to the laptop's system as well as securing confidential information and online transactions.

Computrace® Enabled BIOS

Should you lose your laptop, locate it quickly with this homing device.

A multi-layered security solution, this feature provides a theft-protection service to track, locate and recover your laptop.

Available as an option - this cunning technology is small and undetectable.

Password Utilities
