You volunteer at the local library where you help manage a computer lab. This lab is not always monitored by workers or volunteers but you would like to ensure it is still available for community members at all times. You are concerned people may steal or move the laptops in the computer lab. What type of physical security device could prevent this?
Cable locks are a physical security measure that can prevent small or mobile devices from being physically removed from a location. These are often called cable locks but may also be called a Kensington lock or Kensington security slot. The goal is to secure the device to another large object like a well, desk or cart.
