You volunteer at the local library where you help manage a computer lab. The lab is not always monitored, but you want to be sure the equipment remains available for patrons. You are worried that someone might steal or carry off the laptops in the lab. Which physical security device would best help prevent this?
Cable locks are physical security devices that secure small or mobile equipment-such as laptops-to an immovable object (for example, a wall anchor, desk, or cart). Many laptops have a Kensington security slot specifically for this purpose, so these locks are also called Kensington locks.
Remote wipe is a data-protection feature, not a physical deterrent. A mantrap controls access to a room, not to equipment. Biometric locks control access to doors, safes, or cabinets but do not physically tether laptops.
