SELECTIVELY WIPING A REMOTE DEVICE

摘要

A system and method for selectively securing data from unauthorized access on a client device storing a plurality of data types with reference to an authorization level from a plurality of authorization levels indicated in a command. A command is received at a client device comprising an authorization level indicator. Based on at least one predefined rule, which may be implemented in an IT policy stored at the client device, each of the plurality of data types to be secured is determined, a flag is set indicating which of the data types is to be secured, and then the data corresponding to those types is secured and the flag is cleared. The data types are associated with one or more of the authorization levels. The predefined rules associated with each authorization level may be configured by a user or administrator having an authorization level that exceeds the associated authorization level.
