Geo Location Tracking: Secure Your Devices Anywhere, Anytime

Zecurit's Geo Location Tracking offers real-time device location visibility for effective asset management and cybersecurity. In today's remote work environment, this feature is essential for knowing where your IT assets are at all times. By using the native location services on Windows, macOS, and Linux, Zecurit helps IT and security teams monitor devices, detect anomalies, and respond quickly to security incidents.

What is Geo Tracking?

Geo Tracking uses the native location services built into Windows, macOS and Linux operating systems to determine a device’s physical location. During device scan, this data is automatically collected and visualized on an interactive Device Locations Map, providing an at-a-glance overview of where your IT assets are.

Use Cases for Geo Location Tracking

• Monitor Remote and Field Devices: Ensure remote workforce devices remain within designated locations.
• Identify Unauthorized Movement: Detect if a device is moved to an unapproved or suspicious location.
• Support Security Investigations: Aid in incident response and forensic investigations during theft or data breaches.
• Improve Compliance & Auditing: Maintain records of device location for compliance audits or internal reviews.

Key Features of Geo Location Tracking

Zecurit's Geo Tracking feature is designed to be both powerful and intuitive, giving you the tools you need to manage your remote workforce and secure your assets effectively.

Device Locations Map

The central feature is a real-time global map accessible via Inventory → Device Locations. This map provides an at-a-glance overview of your entire fleet of managed endpoints.

• Quick Identification: Hover over a marker to see a device's name.
• Detailed Information: Clicking a marker reveals the device name, logged-in user, address, IP address, and last contact time.
• Location History: If enabled, you can access a device's historical location data directly from the map.

Device-Specific Location Details

For a more granular look, visit the Location tab under a specific device's details. This view provides precise location information, including the address and coordinates, which are essential for endpoint security monitoring and recovery efforts.

Geo Location Settings

You can customize Geo Tracking to fit your organization's needs by going to Inventory → Settings → Geo Location.

• Enable/Disable: Turn the feature on or off.
• Targeting: Apply tracking to All Devices, Selected Groups, or All Except Selected Groups.
• Location History: Optionally enable historical data retention with options for 7, 15, 30, 60, or 90 days. This is a crucial feature for compliance and auditing.

How It Works and Requirements

Zecurit's Geo Tracking leverages the native location services of a device's operating system. For the feature to work, these services must be enabled.

• Windows: In Settings → Privacy → Location, ensure "Location for this device" and "Allow apps to access your location" are both on.
• macOS: In System Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services, enable "Location Services" and ensure the Zecurit Agent has access.
