You are the Network Administrator for a college. You watch a large number of people (some not
even students) going in and out of areas with campus computers (libraries, computer labs, etc.). You
have had a problem with laptops being stolen. What is the most cost effective method to prevent
this?

A.
Video surveillance on all areas with computers.

B.
Use laptop locks.

C.
Appoint a security guard.

D.
Smart card access to all areas with computers.

Explanation:
It is very inexpensive to put physical locks on laptops that connect them to tables preventing them
from being easily stolen.
Answer options A, D, and C are incorrect. All of these methods would help ameliorate the situation,
but would not be cost effective. All are more expensive than the simpler idea of using laptop locks.
