Security vendors showing off their wares at the
InfoSec
security show are still not protecting themselves properly when it comes to
their devices being targeted for theft, according to physical PC security firm
Kensington.
"They should be. I've been at shows in the past before I worked at Kensington
where things have been stolen," said Chris Leigh, UK sales manager for
Kensington.
The company had planned to go round the show putting stickers on unsecured
machines that read 'Your laptop is at risk of being stolen'.
However, a decision by the organisers to restrict what can be given out at
the show has put a stop to their scheme.
"We were told by the organisers that they did not want anyone going round and
giving out any spurious bits of data and we have respected that," he said.
Leigh claimed that research from
IDC showed that 94
per cent of companies had had technology stolen at some point.
