Remote wipe and remote lock are MDM (mobile device management) features that let IT lock a lost or stolen phone or laptop from a distance and, if it is not recovered, erase its data. A wipe can be full, restoring the device to factory settings, or selective, removing only corporate data and apps from a personally owned device.
