Do privacy screens block blue light?

Yes. You’ll benefit from a 30% reduction in blue light filtered using a privacy filter.

Are privacy screens bad for your eyes?

On the contrary! Reduction in blue light from the monitor and UV glare from the sun and other external lights relieves pressure on your eyes. With less harmful light hitting them, you squint less, and your eye muscles can relax. This helps you sleep better and prevents eye strain while you’re awake.

What is a port blocker?

USB port blockers prevent unauthorized data transfer through USB ports, reducing the risk of data leakage, data theft, computer viruses and malware by physically locking and blocking the USB Ports. Just plug into the USB port and push the button to lock. No technical experience necessary.

How to remove a USB blocker?

USB port blockers are used in high-risk environments to provide security to unused ports and ensure that no peripherals can be connected to those ports The USB blocker comes in a kit of a key tool and lock to cover the unused port to be protected. The correct key tool must be used to disengage the locking pins inside the key and remove it from the USB port.

Why Kensington for Biometric Authentication

Because physical features such as fingerprints are so difficult to forge, biometrics is a strong security solution.

Biometrics in the workplace can be part of a solid security protocol to allow access to internal systems, files, information, and data. Fingerprint scanners have become the preferred biometric authentication method for today’s computer systems. Kensington collaborated with the leader of biometric systems, Synaptics®, to develop our Match-in-Sensor™ and match-on-host technologies. Our offerings are available in USB-A and USB-C ports and integrate support for key applications from Microsoft, Google, and more.
