You are setting up a computer lab and want to ensure the desktop computers are protected against potential theft. Which of the following would provide the best first layer of physical security for these computers?
Cable locks are specifically designed to secure computers and other IT equipment to desks or other stable objects, effectively preventing casual theft or unauthorized movement of the hardware. Unlike BIOS password which serves to protect against unauthorized access to a computer's settings and system data, or encryption which secures data at rest, cable locks physically tether the equipment to a non-moveable object, directly addressing the risk of physical theft.
