September 17, 2001—Kensington Technology Group has created an informational Web site, MicroSaver.com to educate companies about the critical connection between computer theft and data loss, as well as to provide easy, affordable solutions.
According to Kensington, US businesses annually lose $250 million in hardware and $40 billion in data and productivity due to theft. Additionally, researchers have recently learned that 57 percent of network breaches occur from stolen computers.
MicroSaver.com’s interactive feature—the ROI Calculator—allows IT managers to easily calculate the true value of annual hardware and data losses and their associated recovery costs. The calculator presents ROI and payback figures resulting from an investment in basic physical laptop security, providing IT managers with the evidence they need to convince financial managers that hardware thefts can equate to millions of dollars in lost data.
In addition to the ROI calculator, MicroSaver.com offers these features:
- Detailed product specs for Kensington’s line of computer security devices;
- Information for employees about protecting laptops on the road;
- Links to other security sites aimed at IT professionals;
- A comprehensive list of laptops compatible with Kensington products.
