Kensington Brand Philosophy

The system environment surrounding us is constantly changing. Kensington anticipates technological shifts to provide high-design security products, PC connectivity devices, and ergonomic solutions that create optimal work environments for people working in offices, home offices, or on the go. For over 25 years, Kensington's security solutions have led the market in PC security locks, protecting assets like desktops and laptops, enhancing end-user productivity, and safeguarding IT security. The IT landscape itself has evolved, increasing the need for solutions that support mobile work and enable productivity from anywhere. As PC devices become thinner and lighter, Kensington has pioneered innovations in locks such as NanoSaver, Surface Pro Key Cable Locks, and Laptop Locking Stations.

Under the banner of "The Professionals' Choice," Kensington continues to pursue high-quality, highly compatible products daily.

Security: Protecting Your Devices and Data

Enhance the physical security of your laptops and tablets, preventing theft wherever you go. Security wires protect not only against device theft but also against the loss of valuable data and the costs associated with data recovery.

Information Leakage Statistics: Mismanagement, loss/forgetfulness, and unauthorized data removal account for approximately 45% of information leaks. Physical security measures can prevent about 85% of laptop thefts. The average cost to a company for a laptop or tablet theft can be around 400 million JPY.

Kensington as the Inventor of Security Slots: Kensington invented the security slot over 20 years ago and has become a global leader in this technology, setting industry standards. With over 30 patents in security lock technology, Kensington offers a diverse and high-quality product lineup tailored to different purposes, applications, and security levels.

• Standard Slot (3mm x 7mm): The most common slot, found in most laptops, servers, and monitors.
• Nano Slot (2.5mm x 6mm): Developed for thinner, lighter laptops, often found in HP Elitebook series.
• Wedge Slot: A unique slot design.
• Noble Slot: Kensington has reverse-engineered Noble's standard, found in Dell Latitude and Precision series laptops.
• Slotless Lock: For devices without a security slot, such as Surface Pro, MacBook Pro, and MacBook.

Kensington Lock Head Sizes: Kensington developed the standard slot in 1992. Over 30 years, as laptops became thinner, Kensington developed the slimmer Nano Slot. Slim locks for Nano Slots allow laptops to lie flat, unlike traditional locks with larger heads.

Kensington Lock Types: Offers various locking solutions including custom key solutions (Unique Key, Master Key, Supervisor Key, Same Key) and combination locks, catering to different organizational needs for security control.

Biometric Fingerprint Keys

Kensington's VeriMark™ fingerprint keys offer advanced biometric authentication for secure, two-factor authentication (2FA). They are designed to protect sensitive personal information and enhance system security.

• 2FA Explained: Two-factor authentication adds a second layer of security beyond a password, such as a fingerprint or a one-time password.
• Comparison of 2FA Methods: While one-time passwords and security questions are common, fingerprint authentication is considered more secure due to its physical uniqueness and on-device processing.
