CompTIA ITF+ (FC0-U71) — Question 37

A user has concerns about device theft because they are working on a laptop at a local coffee shop. Which of the following physical devices would be best to protect the laptop?

Answer options

• A. Firewall
• B. Privacy shield
• C. USB lock
• D. Cable lock

Correct answer: D

Explanation

A Cable lock is specifically designed to physically secure a laptop by attaching it to a fixed object, making it the most effective solution against theft. The other options, such as a Firewall, Privacy shield, and USB lock, do not provide physical security and are not suited for preventing device theft.
