What Is a Remote Wipe?
Remote wipe is a security feature of many device management tools that allows the capability to erase all data from a device using a simple remote command. Using this remote wipe capability ensures that if a device is lost or stolen, any sensitive information can be removed before it can be viewed. This is also useful for wiping devices belonging to prior employees. Remote wipes can come in handy even without a security breach: before giving an existing laptop to a newly onboarded employee, you can remotely wipe all information left behind by the previous user.
