Physical Security Products

Computer security products fall into two main categories; those that prevent physical theft of computers and laptops including their accessories, and those that relate to illegally accessing data.

Physical computer security products include cables, notebook & laptop security alarms, software to track and recover stolen laptops.

Cable locks are a visual and physical deterrent; they come in a variety of styles to suit different applications and budgets. The main difference is where they attach; most computers have a security slot, usually identified by a rectangular plastic blank covering the slot. The slots can also be found in LCD projectors and flat screen monitors.

Attach the cable to the security slot and loop te cable around the desk or to an optional anchor plate mounted on the desk

Other computer security cable options are low profile locks that are fixed with super strength glue or adhesive strips to the computer and loop around the desk, back into the slide track and locked.

All-purpose locks can be used for other items such as printers, projectors CCTV monitors.
For maximum-security look towards pin locks, a steel pin secured through the workstation or desk and then into the PC base.
