Secure Your IMacs With Innovative Computer Locks
Is computer locks the only tactic to keep laptops or computers secured? While having CCTV cameras is indeed a good idea to keep your work place vandals proof, it isnt the ideal solution considering the cost factor; expensive installation as well as recurring expenditure. Additionally, a CCTV installation disturbs the regular freedom within an office milieu.
Then, your best way of securing your iMac computers is to never let your sight, off the system or carrying it in a sling all the time, but that is ridiculously not possible. Keeping the machine password-protected can ward off unwanted personnel to use the machine, but a thief or vandal will not want to use the system, they would just like to lift it and go off the place. Under these circumstances, keeping it secured with computer locks makes sense.
While we understand that a computer lock is critical element in the computer security, there arent too many options when you check in a regular offline store. Limited sizes and/or style, besides the price make the process dumb and boring.
Fortunately many computer locks stores have come up online, which have stocks of computer security tools you can choose from. That should help with your dilemma to purchase the ideal lock for your iMac laptop.
Some considerations for purchasing laptop locks include, size (whether grumpy or small), design (old fashioned or fit to contemporary offices/corporates), amount of security they offer, interference with the aesthetics of the room, simplicity in the installation.
The iMac plate lock is a high-security locking plate for the iMacs that has come in the market recently. The features of the computer lock include:
- Prevents physical theft of iMac
- Prevents accidental knock over which in case happens results in an expensive damage
- 360-degrees rotation with a 120-degrees swivel option to add that element of convenience
- You dont have to drill the walls or use adhesive to the iMac stand
- The surface doesnt get damages as the base plate attaches to the desk
- You will not see numerous cables dangling around your work place
- Quick and easy installation
- Doesnt interfere with the aesthetics of the surrounding and unobtrusive method of securing laptops
- Uninstalling is as easy as installing should you need the iMac for any service
- Low profile design sleek 7mm base plate
- Comes with patented flat key which means there is one position to lock and one position to unlock
- The Computer Security Locking Plate for the iMac comes with master key for schools, universities and corporate entities.
- As an option, few computer locks come with 3-years anti-theft insurance

Failsafe Payments Adds SecurityMetrics PCI Services for U.S. & EU Merchants
PCI DSS Compliance Program Joins Failsafes Merchant Account & Gateway Offerings
CLEVELAND, OH & NICOSIA, CYPRUS (October 12, 2010) Failsafe Payments, a Merchant Service Provider in both North America and Europe, today announced the addition of Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance services from SecurityMetrics to help merchants meet industry requirements and prevent theft of customer card data. Benefits to participating merchants on both continents include a 175-person SecurityMetrics call center available 24×7 to answer PCI-related questions as part of the low annual fee.
The new PCI DSS compliance validation service joins Failsafes merchant account program and Certo Payment Gateway, an integrated merchant and MSP e-commerce platform enabling authentication and acceptance of multiple payment options and services for online transactions. Failsafes expanded portfolio enables merchants to source multiple card payment services from a single provider.
“Our target merchants are smaller and mid-sized businesses that typically need hands-on assistance to understand the Self-Assessment Questionnaire and other PCI DSS requirements. Online self-service systems are not sufficient,” said John Williams, president of Failsafe Payments. “With SecurityMetrics, both our North American and European customers will have around-the-clock access to PCI specialists who can walk them through the processes required to keep customer card data safe from attack.”
For merchants, other benefits of SecurityMetrics PCI DSS compliance services include a proprietary scanning engine that checks for more points of Internet security than other vendors, a Site Certification Report that lists each potential entry point individually to assist in closing security gaps, and a flat annual fee with no add-on charges.
For acquirers and ISOs like Failsafe Payments, benefits include email, fax and outbound calling campaigns to encourage merchant enrollment and a robust web-based Merchant Compliance Console that provides detailed real-time portfolio compliance progress, drilldown to merchant scan and questionnaire results, and easy PCI compliance reporting.
“Level 4 PCI DSS compliance remains a challenge for payment services providers as well as merchants themselves,” said SecurityMetrics CEO Brad Caldwell. “Companies like Failsafe Payments that proactively help merchants meet their regulatory obligations are playing an important role in thwarting security breaches, reducing card fraud and protecting consumers from the consequences.”
The PCI DSS is a comprehensive set of global security requirements developed by the PCI Security Standards Council in order to safeguard cardholder data worldwide. The organization was founded by American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB International, MasterCard Worldwide and Visa, Inc.
