The Anti-Theft protection included in Adaptive Defense 360 will give you total control over your company's Android devices, and will allow you to take a series of actions in case of loss or theft.
Namely, you will be able to locate, lock and wipe your company's devices, take a picture of the thief, and send it by email to an address of your choice.
In the Web console main window, click Settings. Then, click the name of the profile you want to configure the Anti-Theft protection for.
In the menu on the left, click the Anti-Theft option under Android.
If you want Adaptive Defense 360 to automatically report the device location, select the relevant checkbox.
Additionally, if you want to receive an email when there is activity on a stolen device, select the relevant checkbox. Then, enter the email address(es) that the picture of the potential thief will be sent to. Use a semicolon (;) to separate them.
If, together with the option to snap a picture of the thief, you select the option to report the device's location, the email received will include a photo plus a map showing its location.
Once you have finished configuring the protection, go to the Computer details window to track the location of the device, lock it, and change the email address for the Snap the thief feature.
Administrators can allow end users to use their devices in privacy mode. This allows the user to disable the options to automatically report the device's location and take a picture of the thief, which will be password-protected.
However, it will still be possible to use those options on demand, but only if you have the password entered by the user.
To re-enable the options to automatically report the device's location and snap the thief, it will be necessary to disable the privacy mode.
