A technician needs to secure a laptop to a desk in a public-facing reception area to prevent opportunistic theft. Which of the following is the BEST physical security control to use for this purpose?
Biometric scanner
Badge reader
BitLocker
Kensington lock
A Kensington lock, also known as a cable lock, is a physical security device used to tether a laptop or other hardware to a stationary object like a desk. This prevents opportunistic grab-and-run thefts. While other options are security controls, they do not physically secure the hardware against removal. A biometric scanner is for user authentication, BitLocker is for data encryption, and a badge reader controls access to a room or building.
