Protect your devices and data
Picture this: you're sitting at a café, sipping on your latte, and scrolling through your laptop. Excited chatter causes you to look up, and you turn your head to watch the fluffiest dog prance down the street. A few seconds of distraction is all it takes for a thief to snatch your laptop and disappear into the crowd. But it's not just the monetary value of the device that you need to worry about.
The information stored on your laptop is often far more valuable. Don't let a moment of inattention ruin your day - keep your devices safe and secure!
For guidance on keeping your devices safe, check out the following resources:
