[IS&T Security-FYI] Follow up to Loss & Theft

[Monique Yeaton]

In today's SFYI Newsletter issue sent out earlier today, an article  
included statistics on computer equipment loss and theft and how they  
can lead to a data compromise. I should have added another link to the  
article. It lists some information and resources about protecting your  
devices on campus:

Be sure to also look at the Theft Deterrents listed. Our preferred  
vendors will work with MIT community members who are interested in  
purchasing cables, locks or other anti-theft devices.

STOP tags only cost $10. MIT Campus Police recently shared a story  
about an MIT professor's tagged laptop. It was left on a train, and  
because of the registration information of the tag, was returned to  
him unharmed.

Vendors regularly offer discounts. Currently KSL Security is offering  
the notebook club to MIT at a discounted price, for a limited time.  
Their information is listed on the IS&T Security site link above.

These low prices and discounts are very welcome in these economically  
challenging times.
