When you’ve got enough to think about with Office 365 encryption, anti-malware, secure WiFi, etc, it’s sometimes quite easy to overlook the physical aspects of your IT security.

Here you’ll find our recommendations for a range of products that will help protect your business hardware and data.

1. Laptop Lock – from £25.00

If you’re anything like us, then your laptop travels everywhere with you.  Whether you have an open-door policy in your office or you don’t, it doesn’t hurt to ensure your laptop doesn’t go ‘walking’ when your leave your desk for a meeting or coffee run.

What’s great about this little product below is the simplicity but effectiveness of its ability to stop thieves from taking your laptop.  The lock anchors to any desk, and with a possibility of 10,000 different locking combinations, you can pop away from your desk knowing that your device will still be there on your return.

2. Encryption USB Drive – from £120.00

USB drives are one of the fastest methods to physically store and transfer data from one device to another.  The S1000 meets the strictest standards to make it the ultimate security drive. The drive detects and responds to physical tampering and provides automatic data protection upon drive removal.
