Being valuable and portable, laptops are prized targets for theft. The cost of the stolen business or personal data and of the resulting problems (identity theft, credit card fraud, breach of privacy laws) can be many times the value of the stolen laptop itself. Therefore, we recommend taking the physical protection of laptops and the safeguarding of data contained on them of the highest importance. With a Security Lock, also known as a Security Cable or Laptop Lock, you can tether your laptop to a desk or other immovable object, preventing theft.
