DriveStrike

What DriveStrike is

DriveStrike is device-management software for organizations seeking to protect data when managed devices are lost, stolen, or used remotely. Its central console lets administrators view mapped device locations and location history, lock users out, reset passcodes, reboot a device, or initiate a firmware lock. Administrators can also remotely delete data from a DriveStrike-enabled device, and the features menu includes KillStick for offline wiping.

For encryption, DriveStrike integrates BitLocker for Windows and provides help with VeraCrypt deployments; its features page says native encryption support is coming soon. Its Android EMM tools configure app, security, and device policies through the console, and DriveStrike is a Google Android Enterprise EMM partner. Supported platforms are Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows. Deployment can use email invitations, group policies or over-the-air push tools, individual installation, or remote desktop installation. Administrators can group devices by department, location, or ownership and delegate management. DriveStrike states that it is HIPAA, GDPR, SOX, and DoD compliant, and that live support professionals are available 24/7/365. Pricing is based on the number of protected devices each month; a 30-day trial includes all features and requires a credit card.

Who it suits

DriveStrike suits organizations managing devices across teams or locations that need options to locate, lock, or wipe them remotely. It may also fit organizations seeking Android app, security, and device policy configuration from a central console.

Limits

The 30-day trial includes all features and requires a credit card; the card is charged only if the subscription continues after the trial. Subscription pricing is based on devices protected each month, and organizations with more than 5,000 devices must contact sales for a quote.
