Once CUCo locks down a laptop, workstation or server, the offending user or company takes only a few moments to settle the overdue rents. Also, the detection of the whereabouts of the rented hardware is very important in the renting industry. CUCo, can enable that recovery mechanism much more efficiently than current available proprietary and expensive solutions that are only available for a limited set of high end devices and engineered mostly to protect the data on the device rather than the device itself. Technological advances allowed for easy full hard disk encryption and thus costless user data protection, but still left the hardware unprotected. CUCo protects that hardware!
