Remote wipe

Remote wipe allows a Cyber Protect service administrator and a machine owner to delete the data on a managed machine – for example, if it gets lost or stolen. Thus, any unauthorized access to sensitive information will be prevented.

Remote wipe is only available for machines running Windows 10. To receive the wipe command, the machine must be turned on and connected to the Internet.

To wipe data from a machine

1. In the Cyber Protect web console, go to Devices > All devices.

2. Select the machine whose data you want to wipe.

   You can wipe data from one machine at a time.

3. Click Details, and then click Wipe data.

   If the machine that you selected is offline, the Wipe data option is inaccessible.

4. Confirm your choice.

5. Enter the credentials of this machine's local administrator, and then click Wipe data.

   You can check the details about the wiping process and who started it in Dashboard > Activities.
