Abstract
The disclosed apparatus may include a secure storage device that securely stores an initial geographic location of a network device that facilitates network traffic within a network. This apparatus may also include a processing unit communicatively coupled to the secure storage device. The processing unit may determine a current geographic location of the network device. The policy-enforcement unit may then detect evidence of theft of the network device by (1) comparing the current geographic location of the network device with the initial geographic location of the network device and (2) determining, based at least in part on the comparison, that the current geographic location of the network device does not match the initial geographic location of the network device. Finally, the processing unit may perform at least one security action in response to detecting the evidence of theft of the network device.
