Phoenix Technologies launches failsafe for laptops

"According to the FBI, fewer than five percent of stolen laptops are ever recovered, which is why the embedded protection of Phoenix FailSafe is so critical," said Woody Hobbs, President & CEO of Phoenix Technologies. "With more than 25 years of BIOS and core firmware design experience, the Phoenix engineering team is uniquely qualified to integrate this degree of remote management and security functionality at the firmware level on the PC. Backed by the Phoenix global support infrastructure, FailSafe allows PC OEMs to offer a premium service for their consumers and small business customers, solving a critical business problem, while gaining a recurring revenue stream that will last long after the original sale of the mobile PC."
