About Remote Security Suite Android App

Remote Security Suite is a tool for Android devices that allows users to remotely control several security related aspects of their devices. Remote Security Suite can remotely ring, lock, wipe and locate the device just by sending the "Key Phrase" set by the user to the device. Remote Security Suite can be a helpful tool in case you have misplaced your phone and need to find it or remotely lock the device or securely wipe your data.
