Kensington have always been close to the data security issues. As the worldwide leader in Physical Laptop security we are proud to support the Council of Europe’s Data Protection Day. Since we introduced the Kensington Security Slot in 1992 Kensington Security Solutions have been the firsts line of defense for computer users around the world. Physical security protects not only IT hardware but also the data stored and ultimately reputations and individual credibility.
Research shows that 92% of European SMEs with mobile workers have experienced laptop theft. The average incident in an SME occurs once every 251 days and 54% of SMEs have experienced a laptop theft in the past six months. “Faced with the fact that a laptop which is not locked up is far more likely to be stolen, it’s important to be aware that prevention is better than cure.” Says Stephen Hoare Kensington’s Security Business Development Director.
