 At times we use cable locks depending on the use case. All of our laptops get STOP tags, which we find to be a good 
deterant.

What's your take on securing physical machines?  Are laptop locks worth the expense or 'tie down brackets' the way to 
go?

laptops are in a secure room, bitlocker and domain logon needed.  I have always thought cable locks are more of a 
deterrent than preventive.  We are also are installing camera's that are tied to our public safety.

Just trying to cover all tracks
