If the connection between you to your computer is severed, then your device will lock, shutdown, or shred its encryption keys – thus keeping your encrypted data safe from thieves that steal your device

      Most people don’t, but there are many high-risk folks who do. The main target is journalists, activists, and human rights defenders operating in oppressive countries.

      There’s also benefits for anyone with very sensitive private keys or other IP on their machines, including some businesses and cryptocurrency traders.
