Anti-Theft

The Anti-Theft feature protects your mobile device from unauthorized access.

If you lose your device or someone steals it and replaces your SIM card with a new (untrusted) one, the device will automatically be locked by ESET Endpoint Security for Android and an alert SMS will be sent to user-defined phone number(s). This message will include the phone number of the currently inserted SIM card, the IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) number and the phone's IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number. The unauthorized user will not be aware that this message has been sent because it will automatically be deleted from your device's messaging threads. You can also request the GPS coordinates of your lost mobile device, or remotely erase all data stored on the device.

Anti-Theft features help administrators protect and locate a missing device. Actions may be triggered from ESET PROTECT.

When executing commands from ESET PROTECT, the administrator receives a confirmation in ESET PROTECT.

When receiving location info (Find command), the administrator using ESET PROTECT receives the location information in the form of GPS coordinates.

All Anti-Theft commands can be performed from ESET PROTECT. New mobile device management functionality allows the administrators to perform the Anti-Theft commands just by few clicks. Tasks are immediately submitted for executions via a new push-commands processing component (Mobile Device Connector) that is now a part of ESET PROTECT infrastructure.
