We are excited to announce the addition of Lost Mode to N-able DMA will be enabled over the next 48 hours for both N-sight and N-central (24.6+) users!

This powerful new feature enables administrators to remotely lock devices, display a custom message, and locate lost or stolen assets. Enhance security and reduce the risk of data breaches with this streamlined solution for safeguarding your managed devices.

Benefits of Implementing Lost Mode Within DMA 

Centralized Management:
With DMA, Lost Mode can be activated and managed remotely from a single dashboard, ensuring quick and consistent deployment across all managed devices. Without it, you’d lack centralized control, making device recovery chaotic and inefficient.

1.     Enhanced Security:
Lost Mode locks the device and restricts unauthorized access, protecting sensitive data from falling into the wrong hands. Without it, a lost device remains vulnerable to misuse or data breaches.

2.     Custom Messaging:
The ability to display a message (e.g., contact details or a return request) increases the likelihood of recovering a lost device. Without Lost Mode, there’s no easy way to communicate ownership details on the device screen.

3.     Geolocation Capabilities:
Lost Mode enables tracking the device’s location, helping to pinpoint its whereabouts quickly. Without it, finding the device relies on chance or third-party tools that may not integrate with your existing systems

4.     Time and Cost Efficiency:
Using an MDM simplifies and accelerates the process of securing lost devices, reducing the need for expensive recovery or data protection measures. Without this feature, manual efforts to secure or recover devices could result in higher costs and inefficiencies.

5.     Compliance and Risk Mitigation:
Organizations with strict compliance requirements (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA) benefit from Lost Mode to demonstrate proactive measures for securing lost devices. Without this capability, a lost device could lead to non-compliance penalties or reputational damage.

In summary, implementing Lost Mode through DMA ensures robust, scalable, and efficient management of lost or stolen devices while significantly reducing risks and costs associated with data breaches or physical asset losses.
