Using MetaXA for theft detection

While mobile devices (such as smartphones, tablets and laptops) allow for more flexible and convenient business operations, they are susceptible of thefts. Surprisingly, mobile devices commonly go stolen at offices. When a mobile device is in the theft´s hands, it can compromise the data on the device itself or even the data on corporate servers and networks, which can be accessed using that device. To prevent mobile device thefts as well as the related data thefts, we designed a mobile device management system called MetaXA. In addition, we implemented the system prototype on the Android platform and demonstrated how to use that prototype to detect the theft of an Android smartphone.
