Cable lock: A physical security tool designed to prevent theft of devices. Typically, it is a cable that is securely attached to an immovable object at one end and a device (like a laptop) at the other end. While not a direct deterrent for advanced attacks, cable locks can help prevent opportunistic theft and tampering, enhancing the overall security posture of an environment.
