Through a Fujitsu proprietary technology built into the supported PC, CLEARSURE allows data stored on the PC's HDD to be deleted remotely(1) over a public mobile phone network. If the PC is within the SMS communication coverage of the network, data can be deleted even when the PC has been switched off(2). This advanced security solution allows data protection commands to be executed regardless of the PC's operational state.
The loss or theft of PCs is one of the most common ways that the security of corporate data is compromised. Security for notebook PCs, because of their portability, is a matter of especially keen interest to companies. Fujitsu has developed CLEARSURE as a solution to make mobile environments safer and to increase work efficiency with the extra peace of mind when using notebook PCs outside the office.
CLEARSURE security service will be available from October and is priced at US$100 per year for the service subscription(4). It is currently able to support LIFEBOOK models S904, Q704, T904 and E734 that are equipped with FDE storage and LTE module(5).

[3] World-first technology
The first technology in the world to enable deletion of HDD data even when the PC is turned off (based on research by Fujitsu).
