Track and Protect is a consumer-focused, software and service combination that provides a security solution with remote management and location services. But what does this actually mean for the consumer? It provides a way for you to protect the contents of your phone if it is lost or stolen and to track its location. We'll explore this in more detail in the rest of the review. Track and Protect consists of two components, an application you install to your phone and an accompanying web site. The application handles security on the phone, while the web site provides a way to control the phone (the remote management portion) and track its location on a Google Map.
