Prevent Laptop Theft
Posted on: September 22, 2011
Laptops are a valuable part of any computing arsenal. They allow users powerful mobile computers with the same capacity and software of most desktops. They also allow connectivity outside the office, thus freeing people to take their workplace with them. Unfortunately, the mobility, technology and information that make laptops so useful to employees and organizations also make them a valuable target for thieves. It is estimated that 12,000 laptops are stolen every week in the US alone. Most often they are being thieved from Schools, homes and businesses.
There are a number of ways of protecting your information once your laptop is stolen; including encryption, hard to guess passwords, and of course backing up all your documents. There is also new software that will act like a "LoJack" for your laptop, so it can be tracked once stolen. While all these security measures are great, the best defense to losing your information, is to keep your laptop from being stolen in the first place.
An inexpensive Laptop Lock, such as the ones through Tryten Technologies, can do wonders for securing your laptop and deterring thieves. After all, if you were a thief scoping out two laptops—one with a lock and one without—which which would you go for? Tryten Technologies also offers an excellent array of monitor and Computer Lock. And they have the best Mac Mini Mount in the industry.
