WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH PREY?
• Advanced Tracking
Follow a fleet’s movements globally, track their locations in time, and delimit Control Zones to detect and react to unwanted area exits or entries.
• Reactive Security:
Create automatic triggers for when theft or movement is detected, and use anti-theft tools to block and track your organization’s assets. Recover key files, wipe or lock-down the rest, and gather evidence.
• Simplified Management:
Assign devices to employees, easily group them by usage, hardware, or area, and keep track of any hardware changes or odd behaviors like devices that have been offline for a while.
• Evidence-based Recoveries:
When a device is missing, Prey will gather evidence that's crucial for recovery, and deliver it to you in periodic reports that can aid the police's work.
