Hotel Lock
Introduction to Keyed Cable Locks
Clearly, businesses need a physical security control that complements software controls to help prevent data loss. An affordable keyed cable lock can prevent laptop theft and loss, and thereby protect companies from data breaches, intellectual property loss and lawsuits.
A keyed cable lock is a rubber-coated steel cable that inserts into the Security Slot, which is found in 99% of today’s laptop and notebook computers. It is a small, metal-reinforced hole used specifically for securing the computer. The other end of the cable lock is secured around a permanent object.
Keyed cable locks are simple and easy to use — two benefits valued by today’s IT organizations as evidenced by concerns regarding endpoint security. According to Ponemon Institute’s State of the Endpoint study, “Security is most concerned about the lack of skilled or knowledgeable personnel to help mitigate threats to endpoints and networks. Whereas respondents in operations are most concerned about dealing with overly complex endpoint technologies that are difficult to implement or integrate into existing systems.” Neither of these is a concern when keyed cable locks are used to secure laptops. They are equally easy to use for both IT administrators and end users, and master access solutions simplify administration.
The Benefits of Keyed Cable Locks
The laptop’s portability enables your users to be productive in any number of environments, which means they are likely to travel with their laptop — and your data. According to the Business Risk of a Lost Laptop study, the most vulnerable time to lose a laptop is during travel, such as in hotels, airports and at conferences. Keyed locks have the flexibility to be used in these different environments. In fact, a keyed cable lock can be used anywhere users can find a secure, immovable object. For example, most desks have pass-through holes for computer, electrical and phone cables. Simply thread the cable lock through the pass-through hole and wrap it around the back of the desk or desk bracket for the most effective defense against laptop theft. When users are staying in a hotel, they can attach a cable lock to the closet’s clothing hanger bars, a bolted-down table or even through a drawer handle if the drawer is strong enough to resist a strong pull. At the airport, a cable lock can be wrapped around the bolted-down seats in the waiting areas of most terminals.
Even if your users are only traveling to and from the office with their laptop, a keyed cable lock can provide a necessary extra measure of security. It’s not unheard of for a laptop to be stolen from a car. In this case, the cable can be attached around the steering wheel or to the baby seat hook above the back seat.
In addition to being flexible, keyed cable locks are cost effective and offer low administrative overhead. A lock is still good through unlimited hardware upgrades and can even be reprovisioned when an employee leaves the company.
