BENEFITS
After being introduced to Kensington and its security products, Segovia was impressed by the variety of applications where the Micro- Saver 2.0 locks can be used across campus. While today they are used in Naraghi Hall of Science, Segovia plans to extend the locks to additional buildings in order to protect valu- able equipment, such as projectors, through- out the campus.
“Kensington’s locks provide an extra mea- sure of insurance that the many assets used in the classroom are safe and the university’s investment in such equipment is protected,” said Segovia. “The Master Key solution offers an added benefit to the IT depart- ment, providing ease of use and simplified access that greatly reduces unnecessary down time. Kensington has a great solution and we have a lot of trust in their locks and security offerings.”
