I do not work in a lockable office; how do I keep the laptop secure?

Your one-stop solution for all IT-related needs

Overview:

If you do not take your laptop with you when you leave the office, it can be temporarily locked in a desk cabinet or file cabinet. If you do not want to take the laptop home with you when you leave for the day, your department can purchase a computer lock. You can get a quote for a lock from IT using the Equipment Quote, Service Catalog item found at https://selfservice.sinclair.edu. Be advised, it is not recommended to leave your laptop locked in a desk/file cabinet overnight. IT wakes devices up overnight so they can get software/security updates. Not having your laptop plugged into the Sinclair network, either in your office or in the VPN at your house, could result in your laptop not receiving these updates in a timely manner.
