The latest in Kensington's long legacy of providing IT professionals with maximum anti-theft protection for laptops and other devices, the MicroSaver 2.0 Keyed Laptop Lock is only 10 millimeters in diameter and provides the same strength as the world renowned MicroSaver Keyed Laptop Lock that has been the industry leader for more than 20 years.

"The loss of proprietary business data can be priceless -- and your laptop is not necessarily safe where you think it is -- which is why the MicroSaver 2.0 Keyed Laptop Lock is such a smart investment," said Rob Humphrey, Director of Global Product Management, Security, at Kensington. "The MicroSaver 2.0 was engineered to perfection using patented technologies and underwent out rigorous testing protocols to create the latest standard in device security. This laptop lock can help users protect their investments in hardware and data in even the smallest of laptop form factors, and can stand the test of time in a smaller, compact size without compromising security."

A recent survey conducted by Kensington revealed that the amount of theft occurring in the office is nearly the same as in cars/transportation, and more than in airports or restaurants. The IT Security & Laptop Theft Survey also found that more than a third of IT professionals across industries do not have a physical security policy in place to protect their companies' laptops, mobile devices, and other electronic assets.

As the inventor and No. 1 seller of laptop locks worldwide, Kensington's Security Slots are built into 95 percent of the world's laptops, projectors, printers, and monitors.

    --  Strong 10mm Lock Head - Offers uncompromised security for even the
