The Kensington notebook locks offer the most trusted solutions for people to protect their notebooks and the sensitive data on them.

"Laptop security is a growing concern as people depend more and more on their computers," said Roma Majumder, Senior Global Product Manager, Security. "Our new line establishes a new standard for physical notebook locks, furthering our leadership position in notebook security."

In fact, recent studies have shown that the loss of a single notebook computer can cost a company tens of thousands, even millions of dollars when sensitive customer, competitive, network, and financial information is involved.
