2. Better door security in the office is the answer

7 common misconceptions

Page 39: Laptop physical security

2. Better door security in the office is the answer Unless you have a trusty doorman who knows every employee and visitor by name, this approach is a non-starter Most electronic systems are ripe for abuse. Tailgating, where a second person goes through a door meant for only one person at a time, is a constant menace in companies of all sizes

Page 40: Laptop physical security

7 common misconceptions

3. It won’t happen to me or my employees

Page 41: Laptop physical security

3. It won’t happen to me or my employees

Page 46: Laptop physical security

6. Nobody like using laptop locks

7 common misconceptions

Page 47: Laptop physical security

6. Nobody like using laptop locks.

Previous physical security devices like laptop locks have been chunky. With the new generation devices, all that has changed. They’re simple to use, too

Page 48: Laptop physical security

7. My employees simply won’t use laptop locks

7 common misconceptions

Page 49: Laptop physical security

7. My employees simply won’t use laptop locks.

They certainly will if you make the consequences of not using them serious enough

Introducing cultural change into any

organisation can take effort, but there’s a tipping point after which it becomes more natural to

embrace the change than to fight it
