CISSP-ISSAP: Information Systems Security Architecture Professional

Question

You are the Network Administrator for a college. You observe many people, including some who are not students, entering and leaving areas with campus computers (libraries, computer labs, etc.). You have experienced laptop thefts. What is the most cost-effective method to prevent this?

Explanation

Laptop locks physically tether laptops to desks or other fixed objects, directly deterring opportunistic theft in publicly accessible computer areas at a far lower cost than access-control infrastructure, comprehensive surveillance, or staffing a security guard. CISA guidance identifies laptops as easy theft targets and recommends securing them when unattended.
