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.
Smart card access to all areas with computers.

B.
Use laptop locks.

C.
Video surveillance on all areas with computers.

D.
Appoint a security guard.

Explanation:

It is very inexpensive to put physical locks on laptops that connect them to tables
preventing them from being easily stolen.
Answer options C, A, and D 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.
