You frequently work from your favorite coffee shop. What device can you use to physically protect your laptop from theft if you take a brief break from the table?

Use a cable lock to physically secure your laptop. A cable lock, in essence, secures your device to a physical structure, making it nearly impossible for someone to steal it. LoJack is software that can assist in data security but does not prevent physical theft. A protective cover will help protect your device from damage if it is dropped (and some are waterproof as well), but it will not prevent it from being stolen. Docking stations are typically used in the home or office to give a mobile device, such as a laptop, tablet, or smartphone, access to external devices that can provide charging, speakers, and other features.
