“It basically locks the system, lock the disk, so people cannot be maliciously using and getting the data,” stated executive vice president and general manager of Intel’s Mobility Group – Dr Dadi Perlmutter at his presentation.

Based on what Dr. Dadi had elaborated, The Intel Anti-Theft Technology is apparently a method to lock a laptop down to the component level, and prevent any access to data.
