You have probably heard this story many times before: a sleek-looking tablet sitting on a café counter or at a service centre. One moment, it is helping customers check in and select their desired services, turn around for a few seconds, and suddenly, the tablet is gone. With theft-related crimes on the rise in Australia, unsecured tablets have become easy and attractive targets for thieves.

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, 595,600 crimes were recorded across Australia (excluding motor vehicles), which includes retail-related crimes. Retail theft has risen by 13% since 2010, based on the latest statistics.

Tablets: A Modern Business Asset with Hidden Risks

Today, many retailers such as stores, restaurants, hotels, public services, and many more are utilising tablets because they provide the power of self-service capabilities for customers, directories, and interactive displays, all in a simple and portable device that is easy to use, manage, and maintain. Tablets have become one of the most efficient tools businesses rely on. However, without proper security measures, they can quickly turn from an asset into a liability and become easy targets for theft, which leads to costly replacements, service downtime, and potential data breaches.

Securing Your Digital Assets with Tablet Security Solutions

To greatly reduce the risks of theft, businesses can act proactively by utilising tablet security solutions. These are durable anti-theft casings with locking mechanisms and mounts with several types of casings and mountings available depending on your needs, which include:

  • Wall-mounted Enclosures: A tablet enclosure that is used to display and secure tablets on a wall.
  • Free Standing Displays: A free-standing tablet enclosure used to display and secure tablets by securing its base to the floor, or by having a heavier base that is difficult to tamper with.
  • Arm-mounted: Similar to wall-mounted enclosures, it is a secure tablet enclosure that is attached on a mechanical arm that can be secured on a desk or wall.
  • Counter or Desk Enclosures: A tablet enclosure that is used to display and secure tablets on a countertop or desk.

Other than being a reliable way of preventing theft, these anti-theft tablet security solutions also provide additional benefits, such as:

  • Protecting tablets from accidental drops and wear.
  • Keys to ensure tablets cannot be easily taken out by unauthorised personnel.
  • Designed with cable management in mind, giving the workspace a cleaner and professional look.
  • Caters to a wide range of devices, each casing made to perfectly fit in its specific tablet.

Security is no longer just an additional requirement; it is a necessity to protect the business from unwanted crimes. By investing in tablet security solutions, businesses can greatly reduce the risks of theft, protect their assets, and maintain a professional and secured business operation.
