| Data Theft Prevention |
If a device fails to connect to Endpoint Cloud within a certain time period, Endpoint Cloud can revoke access to the files on the device. While revoked, the user cannot access protected data. Use Data Theft Prevention to turn this feature on or off. |

| Geolocation | You can enable geolocation for devices. If you enable geolocation, you can use Endpoint Cloud to see a map of a device's last known location. | Enable Geolocation |
Migration

The user profile Migration feature is designed for use when you are replacing a device. Instead of setting up the new device from scratch, you can use Restore to load it with the user profile and settings from another device.
